You appear to be suffering from asthma or it could be COPD if you are smoker. Get a PFT done to establish the diagnosis and a x ray chest to rule out any other pathology. You may continue with nebulization but also add budecort to it. Take inhalers like seroflo and combimist. Take montair lc if you have acidity get treated for it as it can aggravate your symptoms. If you are a smoker, pl stop smoking.
