I do have a cold right now but this has never happened before.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion you are having viral bronchitis. Viral infection is the most common cause for cold.  And this can also give rise to bronchitis (inflammation of bronchus). This can lead to bronchospasm. Bronchospasm will cause difficulty in inhaling air. So your breathing problem can be due to viral bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is needed to diagnose bronchitis. You may need inhaled bronchodilators too. So better to first diagnose yourself and start appropriate treatment.
