Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

You have history of asthma ....

So this time difficult breathing could be from asthma precipitation...

I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist for respi examination including auscultation also ..
If rhonchi heard than pulmonary function test done to assess severity and accordingly management ....

If it is severe one puff might not effective and you might need short course of steroid or nebulization with levosalbutamol and budesonide ....

Avoid smoking .....

If you have problem of acidity also pentoprazole can be taken for that ..

Hope your concern solved .
