Are Chest Discomfort Along With Swelling And Pressure Under The Skin Symptoms Of Asthma?
Hi I would like advice. I think I have asthma. Now and again, especially after running, my chest will go tight, my hands and face feel like they are swelling- feels like a lot of pressure under the skin. And also feel sick. If I male myself go sick the pressure under the skin feels better. Asthma pump does work after 3/4 pumps. Is it definitely asthma?
