General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome at HCM...
I appreciate your health concerns...
Based upon the history provided, in my opinion the shortness of breath is most probably due to asthma. You need to get your chest x ray and pulmonary function tests so that it can be properly correlated.
There is need to revise your asthma treatment. Meet your physician.
Hope it helps
Regards
