[|Human|] Hi , I have never had ashma before but for the past couple of months Ive been having a hard time breathing. Everyday it  keeps getting worst , i get headaches , weakness the whole works , each day I feel like something is cutting down my respiration. Could this be a bad sign and lead to lung transplant?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Don't think directly about lung transplant. Better to first diagnose the problem. Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is showing obstructive defect then you will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Lung transplant is usually indicated in very terminally illness patients where all other treatments are not responding. So don't think about lung transplant. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
