Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Obesity can lead to apnea and dyspnea....
So loose your weight by regular exercise...
Low fat diet taken ....
Second here you are mentioning you have diagnosed with asthma....
For it's confirmation spirometry with pulmonary function test useful....
If it is not controlled by inhaler during attack then nebulization might given with steroid for reducing inflammatory bronchi constriction...
If asthma diagnosed and repeated attack then maintainance inhaler taken with formetrol and low dose steroid....
One tsp garlic juice with honey good herbal remedy....
Take care....
