I've had a history of asthma as a child, but for many years, would hate to even consider myself an asthmatic because my symptoms are so non-existant. I have always been very active, exercised, etc.
About 6-7 months ago I got bronchitis and breathing became very difficult. I was put on 2 doses of Prednisone and a single dose of antibiotics as well as Advair. My bronchitis symptoms have gone away, but my breathing remains strained.
I notice that my breathing is worse after eating, during the night/just after waking up, and I have had an increased amount of mucus in my throat. However, unlike my asthma, I feel like the problem is more in my throat than my lungs. My lungs don't feel tight but I am wheezing and coughing all the time.
I've continued taking my asthma medication but have also tried taking Zyrtec as well as Prilosec(thinking it might be GERD becuase i have IBS). Any suggestions/ideas what this might be?
