I'm really worried because I had an allergic bronchitis attack about 5 years ago, and now it feels like the same thing happened again last night. My breathing airways got blocked, and I had this wheezing sound coming from my chest the whole time. I couldn't sleep at all. The last time this happened, I used an Albuterol inhaler to get through it. Should I stick with that again, or is there something else I should do?

I struggle with breathing every April and October and need to use a Rotahaler in emergencies. I get a tight chest, wheezing, cough, and cold, and this happens with every change of the weather. Some doctors have mentioned it might be due to sinus issues. How can I manage or find relief from asthma or bronchitis?

I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

there might be variuos reasons for elevated diaphragm, but seeing your symptoms it might be related to increased liver size, check your bilirubin levels
