I was diagnosed with asthma upon being born. Its generally excersize enduced with cold weather, but recently ive been in england for a few weeks now and im experiencing shortness of breath and some strong coughing, usually taking a deep breath allows me to hear a wheezing noise or a very high pitched sound upon exhaling. I dont have my inhaler and havent needed ut for years im not too sure what this is?Also coughing gives me this weird feeling under my ribs or behind them that I have to itch.
HelloAirways hyperresponsivenss due to inflammatory disease or due to allergy, produces wheezing, shortness of breath, cough late in the night or early in the morning and is known as ASTHMA. Mite, dust, fine dusting powder, hay, sudden change in temperature, pollen, molds, pests (, cockroaches). Smoking (active or passive) are certain predisposing factor of asthma. When such patient visit my clinic I advise them to take montelukast+albuterol tablet once or twice in day according to severity of symptoms. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief. Since you are also having cough, so you may need dextromethophan + cholpheniramine male ate syrup. As you mentioned that you are also having pain underneath ribs, so also get in X-ray chest to rule out any pleural effusion under ribs. Consult a physician and get his opinion.
