I think I may have asthma but I'm not sure.
Ever since I was little I would get out of breath easily, I could never do sports properly because I would get so breathless I'd have to stop and catch my breath back. Now even just walking up a flight of stairs leaves me too breathless to talk or drink. When walking fast I get severe stitch like pain and become breathless too. When I was little I had a few "episodes" where I would be able to breathe in but not be able to breathe out. If I run, especially in the winter, I always have a coughing fit afterwards. And whenever I get colds they go to my chest and I get so phlegmy I find it difficult to breathe. Do these sound like asthma symptoms to you?
Oh, I as well as several other members of my family, suffer from eczema and hayfever too which I know are connected.
