I've got a cold at the moment and suffer asthma and at the moment I can't breathe and I'm not sure if it's a panic attack or if it's asthma and feeling scared. My chest is all tight and feels like my airways closing up x

No not really. I'm trying to take deep breaths but I can't. It's tight and I keep coughing to try clear it x

I'm no expert hun but i don't think it's an asthma attack or anything.

Try taking your inhailer or some steam treatment may work also.

Your chest may hurt because of over breathing and coughing. If you are really worried then ring NHS 24 for some advice hun.
