A member asked:

Why do i have trouble breathing after a big gulp of water or coke, do i have asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liquids: You could be developing an esophageal spasm but you can also trigger your asthma if you are drinking cold liquids. I would start by seeing an gastroenterologist.
