[|Human|] Hi Doctor, I feel discomfort mostly at night, I can t sleep because I can hardly breathe. Its as though something is blocking my airway in my throat. It moves up and down my throat as as if there is bronchial mucus in the throat I can t seem to bring out yet its blocking my throat. Thanks.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathing difficulty especially at night is commonly seen with asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)(budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
