I am a 30yr old female asthmatic and suffer from wheeze and cough from it. I feel like I've got something on my chest which I can't clear. Saw my Doctor last week and he said I haven't got a chest infection. Last couple of days I seem to be choking quite a bit on my food, when it gets to the back of my throat
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Coughing and wheezing in asthmatic patient is more suggestive of worsening of underlying asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will need long acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Azithromycin should also be started to to prevent lung infection. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
