Ive been feeling really suffocated for the past three days, and it's making it really tough to get any work done. My chest feels tight and heavy, and I've also got this nagging upset stomach. Its like Im completely unhappy and cant shake off these negative thoughts. Im wondering, is this a breathing problem or anxiety or something else entirely? I had a chest x-ray done about three months ago, and it didnt show anything, but the problems still here. The doctor mentioned something about allergic rhinitis, and Ive been taking Alerfix Total daily for three months and Oxitin CR Forte, but I missed my Oxitin dose the last two days. Could this be something serious? And how can I get rid of this permanently?

I'm dealing with chest congestion and some breathing issues all day, which is making me feel really anxious and panicky. It's pretty uncomfortable and concerning. Do you think I should be worried about anything major, and is there something specific I can do to ease this?

I'm wondering if it's alright for me to use Asthalin respules before playing sports. I have asthma and my breathing gets really heavy if I don't use it. But when I do, I can play for the full duration. Would using it beforehand be okay?

Yes, its okay to use Asthalin respules before playing sports if your doctor has advised it. It helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe and preventing early fatigue. Just ensure you follow your doctors instructions on dosage and timing.
