Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having breathing difficulty on exertion (running).
So we should definitely rule out asthma and bronchitis because both of these can cause similar kind of symptoms.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT is must for the diagnosis of these diseases. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You Amy need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
