Hi, Asthma is basically a difficulty in exhaling. You need to get investigated for the breathing problem you have.  - blood testing for HBO, TLC,DLC, ESR - X-ray chest.  - an allergy testing - spirometry/respiratory function tests, A chest physician after a complete physical check up & investigation reports would assess your health & advice you needful treatment.  Due to very good treatment options including bronchi diameters, mast cell blockers & desensitization treatment are available such problem is easily managed. Please don't worry.  Thanks.
