Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist because possibility of either asthma or bronchitis is more. Both of these can cause wheezing and breathlessness.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose them but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).. Don't worry, you will be alright.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
