How Can Chest Congestion Be Treated?

I have been told that i have asthma since i was a child... years have passed and i got better then after i got married it reappeared again. I am now 45 yrs old, apparently where i live in, is humid and my breathing problems (not very heavy but they bother me but i do not have wheezing) occur mostly in colder weather but it s no general rule as they can occur any weather and any time. I take most of the year singulair (once per night) but i don t feel it helps me a lot as i have to also inhale ventolin at least 2x times per day... i always have phlegm sensation in my throat and sometimes on my chest and mostly unable to spit them out. I have been told it s post nasal drip and from my research it s more likely it s a globus. I don t smoke nor drink neither do live in a smokers environment and i still play soccer at my age. I am very fit and compete with players in their 20s and i run pretty well and don t get tired by the effort. I also sometimes have reflux but it has gotten better this year. Worth mentioning that, unfortunately stress is my best companion. Don t know what to do to get better?
