Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Allergy
I have no idea why but sometimes I have these asthma attacks. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was very young but grew out of it by the time I was seven. Starting last August I have these random and spread out attacks where it almost hurts to breathe or it feels like I m breathing through a straw. I don t this is asthma because when they happen they are quite literally out of the blue. I won t be outside or running around. I had one today and I was outside but I was just walking around. Its also very cold outside so I don t see how asthma could relate to what I m experiencing

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Cold temperature is one of the triggers for an asthma attack so it is possible that this is a trigger for your attack.
Some of the other triggers are stress, activity, common cold, post nasal drip, reflux .
It may be best to see your doctor for assessment of your asthma status. You may need to restart your inhalers for control.
I hope this helps
