Asthma Sufferers – I need your input, please.?

---

pI have been battling mild breathing problems for the last 4 months. Started with bronchitis, but problems have persisted. My dr said quotyou have a touch of asthma amp its making your symptoms last longer. Breathing problems can last 6 months after bronchitis in people with asthmaquot. If you have asthma, Id like to know what it FEELS like. What are real symptoms you experience Ive looked at sites, I know what they say. Im looking for human input.I am 38 amp smoke. Please dont respond to preach about emphysemasmoking, although some cant help themselves. He did every test under the sun including chest xrays amp blood work for cadiovascular disease, because I went in telling him I thought I had emphysema amp was going to die. I dont have emphysema he said so all 3 times I called amp had him recheck my xrays ugh. I dont have chronic bronchitis had it once. I am quitting though, because he said smoking with the asthma will make symptoms worse. I am asking about asthma.Thank you all very much for the great answers so far and I will keep trying to quit smoking.Killbill My dr didnt say anything about your saliva getting really thick and not to spit, so thanks so very much. Sometimes it feels like Im choking on it, but the more I spit it out the worse it gets.The tickling thing too usually my throat, chin, and roof of my mouth. Some wheezing, but mainly my chest feeling tight and feeling short of breath sometimes. Esp when its humid outside.I do have an inhaler and it helps when I use it.p
