Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of breathing difficulty on roller coaster along with cough and cold seems to be due to sinusitis which means inflammation of sinus which may also cause nose blockage and nose blockage is also a sign of difficulty in breathing or less of breath. It could be due to asthma or allergies. Need not to worry. I would advise you to get paranasal sinus X-ray done and consult your ENT specialist to find proper diagnosis and then start treatment as per that. While time you can also take steam as it will give you relief. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. Exercise daily. Consult cardiologist as well and get ECG done. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
