Lately I have been feeling something in my Throat as if I was chocking, and its been very difficult to breath, especially exhalation . In order to breath, I have to force every breath, which exhausted me. My doctor did all sorts of tests, including a ct scan but didn t find anything.

Hi,
In every asthmatic patient asthma is exacerbated by some preceding factor.
The sensation of lump in the throat may be due to infection as the throat becomes congested.
Acid reflux disease is another factor that causes the inappropriate sensation of lump in the throat and retrosternal burning.
You should take medicines for Asthma and Acid reflux disease on regular basis.
For Acute exacerbation of Asthma use combination of Antibiotic, An inhaler that is the combination of steroid and bronchodilator and Nebulization for acute attacks with ventolin or clenil and tablets such as Monteka that is leukotriene receptor antagonist.
For acid Reflux disease use Proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole once before breakfast.
I hope I am sucessful in solving your query if you have more you can ask me.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Azhar Sattar
