Hey Dr. Renee, I’ve been watching you for a while now, I love your videos and you are doing an amazing service to the community! I have been dealing with difficulties breathing at night, a constant cough and things to that nature such as shortness of breath, I will note I also smoke occasionally. Do you think that’s the cause? I do understand correlation is not always causation, should I consult my doctor? Thanks again Doc🤍

Hi, Dr. Renee! I’m so glad I found you! Is it normal in an asthma attack to feel feint as well as having difficulty breathing? This has happened a few times in the last few months, especially if I’m hurrying to do something. Often with this situation I feel that all the blood is draining from me and that I could faint. Is this normal? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for being on KZfaq and sharing your knowledge with us! You are truly a gift from God. 😊🙏🙏🙏

I had all of this

Hi Dr. Renee, thank you so much for your informative video. You’ve answered so many questions that I have been asking my internist and I have been also looking on Google and KZfaq to find out what is going on because I cannot stop coughing. Usually it is at night when I’m driving and it also happens at home, also yes I do wake up and feel like I’m choking and it can’t catch my breath and breathe so thank you so much because I have been putting off. See you pulmonologist but I have been to an allergy immunologist of years ago however, I did not have this problem at that time. My question that I have for you is Can asthma be caused by mold a mold problem in the house. Oh, I have so many allergies to so many things so it could be triggered by any number of things but I’ve had allergies on my life and I have not had asthma all my life, so I really would appreciate a reply if you are reading this and I just want to say again thank you so much.

I love her she so sweet thank you doctor

Dr. Renee, I saw my doctor and my asthma got worsed and was also hospitalized because of that. I am using two inhalers LABA and SABA. LABA two types and SABA three times a day mine is allergic seasonal severe asthma.... Mine got severe abd it became exercise induced

During physical activities, I tend to have to stop participating or slow down due to feeling as if I cannot breathe properly. I am unsure if it is because I am unfit or have asthma (exercise induced?). I have been dealing with this for at least 6 years (currently 16). To fix this, I usually stop moving and deeply breathe for a few minutes and eventually will feel okay enough to walk. I also get chest tightness sometimes - especially if I exercise soon after taking my medication. After a race, especially a long or fast one, I will have so much difficulty with breathing that I will find it difficult to walk. Alongside this, in this small forest area I used to run in, all of this would be amplified and I would feel very itchy. However, I have never been diagnosed with any allergies. Alongside this, my brother has asthma and a variety of allergies which makes me question if I am more prone to it.

I usually start coughing when I lay down to go to sleep. I noticed when I stop playing sports. I was having a harder time breathing. So now I do anything active I have to focus on catching my breath. Yeah I can't wait for my health insurance to kick in. I'm getting me that doctor that starts with a p

Hi Dr. Renee, all your symptoms are definitely what I'm feeling especially the difficulty sleeping. Is it possible to develop asthma as you get older?

went to the er recently after going on a hike with my friend in the morning and i just couldnt make it up the steps or talk a full sentence without having trouble breathing. ended up feeling really dazed and my heart rate was high. i also had really bad pain on both sides of my ribs and tightness in my chest. Was given a nebulizer treatment and some prednisone. im doing better now and i had sprained a intercostal during this and suppose to be going to an allergist and pulmonologist soon

Ur the best

Great advice, I think im having asthma attacks!! I have a lot of these symptoms

i get a wheezing noise when i breath out but its worse at night when i try to sleep also i cough ive been to the doctors but they said my lungs are clear and nothing has came up on my xray plus i get shortness of breath duno if ive asthma are not

I have most of these symptoms and I’ve had many asthma attacks and the doctors won’t listen to me because I’m a kid. I’m waiting for the day I’ll finally pass out so a doctor will take me serious.

Thank you Doctor, you have helped so much- I recently went to a pulmonologist and he thinks I might have a very mild case of asthma, my ENT thinks I have an irritation of my vagus nerve ( neurogenic cough) - have an inhaler and Gabapentin. My coughing is spasmodic and I feel like I’m choking and can’t breathe as well as normal… episodes last about 10-15 minutes- afterwards I am limp & exhausted- its horrible & very embarrassing, no matter what I can’t stop coughing once it starts……HELP!! I feel like my Drs aren’t believing me, and wondering if there’s something else I can do.

Thanks for the video doctor it really helped,i was a heavy smoker from 2002 until 2020 i had covid twice 2021 and 2022 i used to have chest pain not sever, and sometimes breathlessness for minutes,i went to the doctor plenty of times but never said i have asthma,he said it was acid reflux and also the clearing of my throat,last year i used to walk abt 6ks every day last year i would feel breathless for few minutes after some deep breath i was fine,recently am having chest discomfort on daily basis,am unfit obese 115kg am alwys sleeping not working, i tried to work out yesterday lifitng up after than i had shortness of breath dizziness and nausea,and mind you i just had an overall blood test and xray done 3 days ago and everything was fine,what can be the reason for the breathlessness chest discomfort, i can take deep breath and hold for a minute everyday can i still have asthma regardless

I had asthma for 2 weeks that lead to Pneumonia. I cannot nebulize continuously as it has side effect on me. I stopped using inhaler as it increases my heart rate, from 100 - 120 bpm. The cough didn't go away and then one day I felt like I couldn't breathe deeply, I felt so tired and had low grade fever. The next day I went to another doctor and had x ray. The result came in and it said I have Pneumonia on the left lung and the doctor confirmed it. I am on antibiotics until now.

I was dx with GERD and asthma after Covid! I think I have Covid long… TY lord

Excellent video, sometimes im so breathless as soon as I stand up that i cant breathe when i walk a few steps, im not wheezing or coughing. What sort of things could this be? Im just wanting info not diagnosing. Im mid seventies and had severe childhood asthma until age 15. Am average weight. Any ideas much appreciated.

Hey Dr. Renee! I have a few questions for you! • When I laugh really hard at times, I have noticed that I have a wheezing noise that goes along with my laugh. Is this a sign of asthma? • Almost always after eating, I will have to clear my throat a million times. It gets in the way of me having conversations with others because I am always having to clear my throat. I don’t eat a lot of dairy products at all, so that’s why I am wondering what would cause me to feel like this. Would you consider this as a sign of asthma? • I also feel like it’s hard to breathe at times and I have to stop and take deep breaths, but I’ve always blamed it on my PCOS stomach bloat. Other info: - I have never been diagnosed with asthma, but I am starting to notice these things about myself that I didn’t notice in my younger years. I am 24 years old. Asthma has made appearances in family generations, so I do think it’s possible for me to have it. I just have never had an apparent problem until now in my life and have been wondering if it’s tied to asthma.

hello dr.renee!!! i need ur confirmation I am having difficulty in sleeping I am hving shortness of breath while excercsing i frequently feel like taking all air at once with my mouth i feel like there is something in my throat [a sticky thing] which makes me cough PLEASEE GIVE ME A CONFIRMATION...ARE THESE SYMPOTMS OF ASTHAMAA

Thankyou Dr, i have a lot of the symptoms that you explained, especially the night i get lack of sleep. I cough a lot and feel pressure in my breathing site.I can inhale deeply like i used to do. Should i go check the dr if i have asthma?

Hi Dr Renee , i have been facing shortness of breath along with pain in the chest and was facing pain in the left side shoulder and neck. I thought it was related to heart so i went to cardio got tmt and echo with doppler but all are normal. I don't cough but i am confused can you suggest if i have asthma or not?

At my softball game today are you experienced or one of the symptoms it felt like somebody was hugging my chest really tight and that I couldn’t take a deep breath or catch my breath so I had to use an inhaler and it helped a lot

Hey it’s Claudia I have trouble breathing lot but just exercise and I wheezing a lot when I sleep and I am lose sleep do you think I should go check to see if I have asthma I also have chest tightness

Welp guess I’m headed to the dr in 12 days!!! Great video thank you!!! Can a person develop this later in life like in their 50s?!?

Thank you for your useful advice, doctor. Is it normal to have difficulty to breathe while feeling like choking on food, after coughing a lot or after laughing a lot? I have been experiencing it for several seconds every time (1-3 minutes average), until I go out to the fresh air and it stops. It happens exclusively (only) when have a cold (virus etc) or when I laugh a lot. No other time. Could this be the onset of asthma or is it normal?

I have had the same chronic cough for nearly 4 years, chest tightness on occasion and wheezing every chance I get..my GP ordered a spirometry test scheduled for 1/8/2024 at 740am

My girlfriend had accused me of smoking before because I’m always coughing and clearing my throat. I have trouble breathing a lot, just general shortness of breath. I think I will see if I have asthma.

Hey Dr. Renee, I had a lung condition when I was younger and I had to receive medication for 6 months. As i'm writing this right now (it's currently night) and I'm having a really difficult time breathing, it feels like being choked at the top of my neck and like somebody's sitting on my chest. I also sometimes gag as I take a deep breath and sometimes also get a headache and tears... Do I have asthma?

I'm pretty sure I have chest tightness and all of a sudden I keep coughing after physical activity and in the morning a lot?

Hey could you help me out I don’t know if I do or not but I’m 14 years old and play soccer and recently like 3 weeks ago I got like some kind of chest/heart pain for a split sec and now somethings when I breathe my throat feels like it wants to stop I also think its because one day it whas like a month ago I whas drinking soda and I chocked on it really hard and when I whas done at the very end for a second I couldn’t breathe so i don’t know I’m kinda scared my doctors said I’m all good but I don’t know

I have almost all simptoms and my friend have asthma when i said all things what i have she said they all from asthma.

Hello doctor! You gave a very useful information. I want to discuss with you my own issue. I am an anxiety patient using SSRI tablet for two years. Two months ago , I suffered fro prolonged dry cough for one month then developed chest infection. My doctor treated me. But a week later I started experiencing SOB without cough or wheezing. I consulted a pulmonologist and he put me a corticosteroid inhaler. But Now despite of using inhaler I often experience Difficulty breathing . I have normal spirometry and chest xray. Some doctors are of the view that it is a panic disorder. while a doctor calls it asthma. I am still unable to find out wheher it is asthma or panic disorder. Kindly guide me

I have all of these symptoms and have gone to doctors since middle school (I'm now 45) and they always say that I don't have asthma.

Hey, I cough and wheeze a lot and it usually takes me a really long time to catch my breath after exercise as simple as walking upstairs but I don’t feel the shortness of breath other than it being harder to breathe sometimes and have no chest pain although my back is pretty sensitive as you mentioned with the back pain, do you think it could still be asthma??

Hello Dr Renee , for the past 2 weeks I have been having pain in my left side of my lung or chest ,having difficulty breathing , without cough running nose or headache . Just pain n difficult breathing , I went for check up n the doctor prescribed a painkiller and that helps for couple of hours 4 hrs max from the pain , I was asked to do CT scan ,, what’s your thought please share your opinion

I have a question: When I like run do sports I have really trouble with breathing and it feels like I really have to breathe very hard to get enough air at that moment but it only happens if I’m running and do sport and that trouble takes like 15 minutes and after that it’s just normal. I don’t know if that is a asthma sign ore something else. And I’m sorry if I spelled something wrong I’m from the Netherlands🌸

Do you have to bring your inhaler everywhere like even if you pop to the shop or get in the car sure quickly??

Thank you i got checked up and my docter said I have it

Okay so when I was younger I was told I had asthma and I remember taking inhalers but I stopped having to take them because I was told I don't need it anymore. And sometimes I get shortness of breath but wasn't sure if it was asthma or something else. Do you think it might be asthma?

A few days ago I started to have shortness of breath coughing and a feel tightness in my chest but I don’t know if it is asthma or not and I am 12 years old and I have no experience with asthma and don’t really want to-waste my parents time if the is nothing severe

Idk if i have it but like its so hard to get air and if i try to get some air it hurts like in chest idk what should i do?

Hello, I usually wake up and can't breathe and it burns my throat and down my airway. I have not payed attention to the other symptoms.

I did not have any symptoms till 2019 end, after that I started having this cough. Is this treatable it seems like its allergic asthma or is it going to be there life long?

OMG! Soo hard to know. I started coughing alot more for over a month. I had asthma with my daughter when I was pregnant with her but I didn't realize I used to have it when I was younger my family used to tell me to just suck it up and stop playing too hard.

Ok so I have those symptoms at three times. When I’m stressed,when I’m exercising, and when I’m in cold or hot weather. When I’m exercising my throat has a cool burning sensation and I my chest gets so tight.

I have hardness of breathing especially while reading something But my chest is clear.I have good sats do i have asthma

Since kindergarten I've been feeling this but it's not that and but now that I'm in 7th grading almost 8th grading it's getting worse! I can't breathe that good anymore I can't even walk for a long time anymore! Im worried.

I have difficulty of breathing,I have to use extra energy to be able to take a deep breath and I get neck and back pain from it,I also can not breathe through my nose coz my nose is congested but it’s dry.I usually wake up in the middle of the night trying to catch my breath. I went to the emergency several times because of it and have checked my heart .my heart is perfectly fine .Do you think it is Asthma?

so the thing with me is when i do athletics i cant even run a 200 without having a lot of trouble with breathing i also can just feel mucus in the back of my throat and i constantly cough and anytime i cough i wheeze and i always have this tightness in the chest i told my mom and she said that its normal, so idk what it is

Cold air is my biggest trigger bothers my throat and inhaling in deep cuases pain in chest it could be the ac, summer night or morning cool breeze or in the winter just cant do it!

I wanna tell something- I noticed that whenever i have cold i have difficulty in breathing and i feel chest tightness and also that deep breath thing i took one and i feel so uncomfortable like my chest is paining, i also feel my heart beat quickening occasionally for no reason and these things only happen when i have cold, anything to worry about in this case??

hi what would happen if my asthma medicine doesn't work very well? I have exertional Asthma and cold Asthma. I know I have it because I have been to a doctor and was given asthma medicine. right now I have a fever and my asthma medicine isn't helping and my special cough medicine isn't working either. there have been times where i have tasted blood because i have coughed so much .should i go to the doctor again? because right now I can't breathe very well and have a headache.

Hi, i’m 12 and i struggle to breath sometimes and i wheeze quite a bit, and when i wheeze i usually shake after i wheeze. I don’t know if i have asthma and i don’t really like telling my parents about things like this and if i do have to tell them how would (sorry if i don’t make sense i’m bad at explaining things)

Hey Dr. I am 22 years old, I feel Breathlessness from long in night n many times in day aswell. Everytime I have to clear my throat. Nowadays it's more, I gave attention to it just a week ago. But I don't feel that much tightness in chest. But unable to take deep breath , when I try n need it most. Went to a govt hospital, he gave me some meds (Montelukast Sodium & Levocetirizine hydrocloride + Ascorbic acid tabs). I m taking these, still sometimes I feel breathlessness, It was a govt hospital, he just heard me n wrote these meds n that's all. Now do I need to go to another dr? I m confused

I have chest pains and cough, how do I know if I have asthma

OMG I have all of those symptoms. I am going to the doctor..........

Thanks Dr Renee. I'm Gabriel from Nigeria and I experience two things you listed here. Severe difficulty in breathing during exercises or sports activities. It's been two years already and I'm still struggling with it. I had to quit playing soccer bcus of it, my body is becoming very fat cus I can't workout. My doctors are clueless on what to do.

so i can't breathe when i cover myself in my blanket from top to bottom and i can't seem to sleep because of this . also i had stayed in the house for most of the time in these two years because of covid we had lockdown here and being an introvert i didn't go out but then suddenly college started and when i started travelling i had cough for almost 2.5 months. is that cough just pollution allergy???

I have some symptoms of asthma like the cough the chest tightness but not the wheezing and I do have very bad stamina like shortness of breath but I have that shortness of breath for like 5 hours and after 5 hrs it goes

Hey dr Renee I have a few questions so first is I have been having small asthma attacks for 7 months now and I can’t breath I panic I run around and I try going to a window but my second question is why is it when I yawn I can breathe a bit

Please reply And sorry this is so long So the thing is I can't laugh for too long and when I do I start coughing It's so violent when I cough but their is no mucus when I cough I just cough for 10 minutes straight till I am out of breathe and then I have to sit straight and take (try) long deep breath which I can't cause I feel like someone or something is crushing my lungs for all side but it doesn't hurt most of the time but if feels painfully suffocating Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because I feel difficult only by breathing through nose so I wake up sit on bed and try to breathe normal but again the feeling in my chest never changes Other things I noticed in myself is that I can't talk for too long like I used to do now I get shortness in breathing if I did Whenever I cough my back iches like crazy I am like coughing while scratching my back Sometimes tip of my nose iches out of no where and it doesn't stop for like 10-15 min I don't understand if I am allergic to something I should be near it right but Whenever my nose iches I am in my bed or taking a bath or cooking or sitting in the sofa or just walking outside I seriously can't find the cause of this I could feel mucus in my throat all time since 2019 to 2021 December and till last Jan but nowadays I don't is it because I got a flu and when the flu went away mucus in my throat too went away And most importantly I just can't breathe through my nose nowadays It's not enough nowadays I just open my mouth evem when I sleep or when I am just listening to something I will be really honest here that sometimes I don't feel like that so I freely breathe only through my nose without any difficulties but it's not the case everytime Even now I couldn't breathe properly so I just took deep breaths and I am telling you I feel like their is a granite in my chest I feel so Suffocating but not pain like a strike or something but the feeling you get when you stay in the water for too long forcefully is what I feel But sometimes their is a striking pain in lower or upper sides of the lung area or mostly on the left side top or right sides or bottom And finally the timing This ruins my sleep once or twice a week I cough Whenever I laugh hard I feel out of breathe or like I am fainting of nowhere as my vision goes blank for seconds but then I regain my posture take a deep breathe and continue with my work And also I can't eat too much it feels suffocating even though I am clearly hungry and my stomach is not full And when I choke on food I get a hard time getting my breath back to normal it hurts my chest more when I choke and start coughing Additional information the climate is very hot at day but freezing at nights for the past 6 to 9 months if that's useful I just turned 16 last month Should I visit a doctor I don't wanna bother my parents if this is not serious

I have been struggling to get a doctor to listen to me

Im only a child i have all of the syntoms but i dont know how to tell my mum i have shortness of breath right now

I have 3 symptoms

I have a question: -Like in every few months or so I would experience a moment, a day, or even a few days where I feel like I'm not recieving enough oxygen every time I took a breath. -When I take deep breathes with my mouth my chest would feel somewhat tightened. -I think have alot of mucus in my airway or throat.. every few minutes I would need to spit it out. -Earlier this year, I had an appendix surgery. -My mom said when I was younger(about 1-3 years old) I used to have asthma, but as I grow up I don't have it anymore. -My parents have been smoking around me since I was little. I'm 13, should I tell my parents about this and ask to go to a doctor? Please answer.. It's been an hour since I feel like there's not enough oxygen going through my lungs.. Is there anyway to stop this..?

I cough after runing and when im walking or picking something up sometimes i can’t breath well could that be asthma?

Ok I probably have asthma every thing she said I have it also runs in my family my grandpa has it my cousin has it

I only wheeze mildly And doctor said i have allergic bronchitis Is it like copd Or it will go away ....

I have a question i had my asthma for a while know my doctor dose know but i had it when i was a kid i dont remember what age but my question is . Is it true that if you have asthma do you have it for ever a life time?

I'm not sure If I have asthma but I just started having pain in my chest on the left side when I walk to fast or run for a little bit it hurts

What about dizziness

Hi I have a problem my problem is this That I can't take breathing when the time of school I am going in bus at bus I can't take breath and after out the bus I have so much bad headache than I don't want to eat sleep and tried so much plz help me plz Plz Plz

I am diagnosed with asthma and have most of this symtoms

If partner have asthama ,it will come to us ??

Maybe I might have asthma

So I just recently started to realize that I may have had asthma my entire life. As a child I used to have this really bad cough every once and a while but only in my sleep. The cough would wake me and keep me up, because the pain in my chest became unbearable. I am now a full legal adult and still have this cough every so often. I had COVID last year and after my quarantine that cough came back but way more aggressively. I had it all day and night. I played on scholarship for my college, but I would have to frequently run to the sidelines or trash can because I was coughing so much I thought I was going to throw up. It hurt my chest and my throat very badly. I have trouble breathing when it’s hot and sometimes in the fall heading into winter. It feels like my throat is super tight. Sometimes when I shower it’s so hot in the restroom I can’t breathe and run out completely exposed because I feel faint. Sometimes after I eat as well no matter the portion size, I cannot catch my breath, for almost 30-45 minutes. Now I am noticing for a little over a month I cannot give rid of the mucus in my throat. It’s hard to talk, drink, swallow without noticing it’s there. I never connected the dots until I started working as an MA in a pediatric office. Does this sound like asthma ? Or something else ?
