A member asked:
Chest is tight, i'm short of breath and feel like i'm only using the top half of my lungs and have to force air out. is this down to my asthma?

Asthma: It is difficult to determine that this is from asthma. Do you have a peak flow meter? That is a more reliable way to find out asthma is affecting you.
