Possible asthma: What you describe sounds like what people with asthma can have. You don't say your age or health, but you should talk to your doctor. If it is asthma, it is very treatable, once the diagnosis is made. Special tests can tell your doctor whether there is any problem with scarring or permanent damage to your lungs.
