Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Get yourself evaluated with a ECG and a chest x ray. If both are normal then it could be GERD or asthma. Also consult pulmonologist and get a clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled cortcisteroids.
Hope your question was answered.
