Sudden chest tightness, rapid hr, reflux, nasal congestion & trouble breathing. albuterol helped. lung infection 5 wks ago. could this be asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: It may be that the illness predisposed you to bronchospasm, which the Albuterol relieved. If you have a family history of asthma, this increases your likelihood of asthma. If you have recurrent wheezing, please see a specialist or your PCP . A virtual consultation may be useful to you and your PCP.
