Asthma can be minor or it can interfere with daily activities. In some cases, it may lead to a life-threatening attack.
Asthma may cause difficulty breathing, chest pain, cough and wheezing. The symptoms may sometimes flare up.
Asthma can usually be managed with rescue inhalers to treat symptoms (salbutamol) and controller inhalers that prevent symptoms (steroids). Severe cases may require longer-acting inhalers that keep the airways open (formoterol, salmeterol, tiotropium), as well as inhalant steroids.

This is literally explaining everything I’m going through right now Edit: So it’s been 3 months and I just want to state: The day after I commented this I went to the doctor and it turned out I had a virus that caused my chest joints to lock up and give similar experiences to asthma (I forget the name of the virus). But if you are experiencing any symptoms of asthma try and go to the doctor as soon as possible, it might be something different but it’s better to be safe than sorry!!

My anxiety starts at job and bedroom. I start coughing and my chest becomes tight. Once in while when cough is productive. Breathing is restricted. Yet I dont trust doctors and hospitals anymore since the time they put people in ventilators resulting in instant death.
