Sir, my X-ray came back normal, but my doctor mentioned asthma even though I've never had it before. I'm feeling breathless while sleeping. Could this really be asthma or something else? I've attached my file for you to have a look.

I'm a 20-year-old student currently living in a college hostel in Kota, Rajasthan, and I've been dealing with asthma for a while now. Lately, I've been experiencing chest congestion, coughing, cold symptoms, and wheezing, with a tightness in my chest when I breathe. Being at college, I'm looking for some home remedies that are easy to do in a hostel setting. Could you suggest some ways to help manage these asthma symptoms?

I've been coughing for such a long time, but all my tests are coming back normal. The AFB test was negative, and even the X-rays look fine. Why am I still coughing so much? What could be causing this? I'm starting to get really worried.

Probable diagnosis is asthma,Copd,allergies,bronchitis,pneumonia ,GERD,sinusitis,etc tobacco use etc .Patient is advised for CT chest, complete blood count ,esr and C-reactive protein tests.
