I have just found out that I have bronchial asthma I had a cough that wouldn't stop it was chronic but now the coughing is gone but under my rib cage I guess its the diaphragm it feels so swollen and like a rubber band is stretching back my skin especially when I lay on my back. What can I do to help me feel better?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These are some of the precautions you can take as to improve the condition. First of all quit any smoking habits. Wash all your bedding and clean your house. Stay away from dander, dust, pollen, cotton trees as these are main irritants. Avoid cold drinks and foods you are allergic to use water vaporizer by the day and humidifier at night. Drink plenty of lukewarm water. Use ginger honey lemon hard candy drops while sleeping keep your head elevated with 2 pillows. Early morning jogging with fresh air is advisable. Always keep your inhaler handy in cases of emergency. Consult your pulmonologist regularly for further assessment and treatment modifications if necessary.
