I've been having trouble with my breathing for like 3 months now, and I'm kinda lost on what to do next. I've already done some tests like an ECG, and it showed my heartbeat is a bit faster than normal. Plus, I've had normal results for my X-ray and thyroid function test. In my latest blood tests, my triglycerides, SGPT, SGOT, and uric acid are just slightly above normal. I've also gained some weight during quarantine and got a bit of a belly. I'm just wondering if all of this could be related to my breathing issues or shortness of breath? Any advice on what might be going on or what I should do?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?

Asthma is a chronic airway disease. Yes ,in winter season the asthma gets aggrevated.

I'm an asthma patient and I've been taking medicines like Montek LC and Seraflow 250mg rotocaps. I started this routine because of frequent asthma attacks since October 2014. Initially, I took them every day for three months, but then moved to only taking them when an attack happens. Lately, I've been having other issues like significant belly swelling, lots of gas, breathing problems, and constipation. Could you please help me understand these symptoms and suggest what I should do?
