Hi Angelica,

 

I am concerned for you, because none of the symptoms you mention scream asthma to me. Usual symptoms of asthma are a feeling of being tight in the chest when you try to breathe deep, shortness of breath, coughing (especially at night), and wheezing. Pain is not a common symptom of asthma and might mean something else.

 

I would strongly encourage you to see your doctor about how you are feeling. It may mean nothing or there might be something that could easily be treated, like an infection. Please do soemthing good for yourself and get medical attention very soon, OK?

 

To your health,

Kathi
