Suggest Cause And Remedy For Wheezing And Chest Pressure
I have suddenly developed asthma like symptoms especially after eating..my father had similar symptoms many years ago at the same age (56) and learned he had a hiatial hernia... I mainly wheeze and feel chest pressure but I can exercise with little limitation....could this be my childhood asthma returning or can this type of hernia cause this?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first.
Get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulnonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
In your case chronic bronchitis can be cause as
1. You had asthma in childhood.
2. Father was having similar complains.
3. Slight limitations of activities is the early sign of chronic bronchitis.
So better to rule out this. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
