[|Human|] I keep having a tightening feeling in my chest that also moves its a way into the back of my throat.  I am an asthmatic but I took some puffs from an inhaler and it stills it doing it.  I have had a cold the past few days but it felt like it was getting better.  This has been happening on and off the past couple days but only lasts in 20 minute increments.  Should I be concerned?  Any OTC that will help?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you're all symptoms are mostly due to uncontrolled asthma. Asthma is chronic allergic inflammatory disease of airways. It needs regular long course treatment to achieve proper control of symptoms. So instead of taking irregular inhalers and OTC (over the counter) Chat Doctor.  Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of asthma is based on severity only. You should start inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid regularly.
