[|Human|] Over a week ago, friday evening I started to have flu like symptoms such as the body aches, extreem fatigue and nausia but did not have vomiting, fever or a snotty nose. I have been dignosed with asthma (for the past 20 years) and occasionally use an inhaler (1-2X /day). Friday night I had what felt like a tight chest and coughing spells which triggered my asthma requiring me to take two doses of my nebulizer.  Within an hour later I needed my inhaler again.  For the following week I struggled off and on again with asthma and a continous tight chest. Along with these symptoms I also had 1-2 dizzy spells to the point of nearly fainting. My HR is continously over 100 (108 ave.)  and I am 29yrs old (5ft 140lbs). Over this past weekend  I have felt somewhat better. I still have fatigue and weekness. I also live in the central CA valley. Could this be valley fever or just a cold causing my asthma to bother me more?
[|AI|]  Hi, Valley fever is due to fungus cocidiodomycosis infection. As per your symptoms, it doesn't look like valley fever because this fungus mainly affects lungs and you don't seem to have bronchitis or sputum secretions. Your chest tightness and cough are due to asthma. You might have common cold, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis or upper respiratory infection. You must take antibiotics full course (quinolones or accolades group preferred) with antipyretic and analgesics along with treatment of asthma. So better you consult for pulmonologist or physician.
