[|Human|] I had a cold/flu a month ago that lasted for a week and a half.  After which I felt pressure in my chest, which I assumed was due to my asthma although i could feel fine.  Three weeks later I felt pain in my chest right in the middle of my chest and a few days later I got a cold again  I usually only get colds twice a year, should I be concerned I have a cold twice in a one month span?Should I be concerned about the chest pain or its just my asthma?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you should definitely concern about your chest pain and recurrent cold. Asthma can reduce lung defense and so recurrent viral infection is common. This is the cause for your recurrent cold. Central chest pain can be due to uncontrolled asthma. So you should definitely consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease, so that additional bronchodilators can be given if needed. For recurrent viral infection, better to take Influenza vaccine. It should be given annually. It gives protection for 1 year. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
