What Does Continual Fluttering And Breathlessness In Asthmatic Patient Indicate?

Last night while resting on my left side I left constant fluttering every 2 - 3 minutes on the lower part of my back. I couldn't tell if the fluttering was coming from my lung,liver or kidney. It kept me awake and continued all night even though I repositioned myself to lie on my back. First thing this morning I felt the fluttering again and it continues. Upon further thought I think it's happening in the lower part of my lung. For the last week or so, I've been yawning and suddenly gasping for short but deep breaths. Sometimes when yawning I can't seem to yawn all the way and I continue to yawn consequetively for a period of time. It's exhausting.

I suffer from asthma usually related to allergies since the age of twenty. I would appreciate some insight into the symptoms and problem.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted fluttering present in lower back...

Let me know you kidney stone sometime can lead such symptom with some pain.
USG done for it...

Your respiratory examination esp.auscultation must done...as you have asthma...
If rhonchi heard and complain of dyspnea then asthma. Should be controlled with using inhaler....

Second as you have fluttering to rule out arrhythmia like cardiac cause if chest pain associated then ECG or echo can be done.

So get your physical examination with vitals and investigation done to approach your case.

Take care.
