I was diagnosed with asthma when I was about 12, but it was never serious, I used to get coughing fits occasionally but nothing major. Since adulthood, I sometimes get a tight chest, if I have a cold, or if I'm outside at night when it is cold, which I take a blue inhaler for if this happens. 2 puffs and I'm fine. I was just wondering if this is still my asthma or something else?

Hi Laura, Yes... it sounds exactly like asthma!! Cold air constricts your bronchial passages making it harder to take full breathes, when you are sick(or certain other scenarios) your bronchial passages can be irritated, inflamed, infected and that causes difficulty breathing....all these things cause that feeling in your chest. However, if its been awhile since you've seen a Dr and your symptoms change, your meds don't work as well or you have concerns, it might be time for a check up!! Best Wishes💒♾💞🐾🌈🎶☮🍀
