[|Human|] Hi there, obviously you are going to advised me to chewck this out but i would like a more indepth answer if possible.I have recently moved to moscow and the pollution here is quite bad and I find it hard to breath well.I have had very minimal problems with my breathing before but nothing that has forced medical attention. My mother and sister both suffer from asma but all the males in my family have seemed to not suffer from it.My lungs feel like they are not inflating all the way I breath.. it feels like the top of my lungs are not inflating.. and it gives me a sickly feeling at the bottom of my throat. It also feels like .. frost inside.. dont know how else to explain it.Do these symtops sound like anything familiar to you and could you advise anything?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, pollution and environmental change can trigger breathing problem. In my opinion, you are mostly having either asthma or bronchitis. You are having positive family history of asthma, so pollution can trigger it. Pollution is itself a risk factor for bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) 3. Chest x-ray. Chest a ray is needed to rule other lung related causes. PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma and bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Wear face mask to prevent pollution. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
