Hey everyone. A little background here. When I was 17 (I知 21 now) my dad passed away from a rare lung condition and 4 years later my uncle passed away from the same disease, but the doctors tell us it is not genetic.
In the northeast we got a big snow storm a few days ago and yesterday I was shoveling the driveway in 10ｰF weather. I was short of breath and minutes later developed a wheeze in my right lung upon exhalation. This has lasted all day and now I知 sometimes wheezing during inhalation and exhalation, but mostly just the latter.
I知 scared I have a serious lung condition and one of my worst fears is being put on a ventilator like my dad was.
Could this be an exacerbation of asthma? Bronchitis in only one lung? Has anyone ever dealt with this before? I am able to cough up a bit of sputum every so often and the wheeze goes away for a bit but cant spit it out and it ends up going back and the wheezing continues shortly after.
Been doing good with my health anxiety for the past two-ish years and this is a major setback for me.
