Chest Pain with breathing not smooth
Hi Doc i’m woman aged 32 with asthma issue since child. Recently i been having asthma problem early feb and it’s happening on and off. Beginning of Mac having chest pain and doc said it could be muscle pain. The asthma and chest pain keep on happening on and off recently. By using the Ventolin it helps to smoother the issue and also chest pain. Should i just continue to use the Ventolin to see does it help or only use when it attack ? Sometimes i do have sorethroat but when i take gastric medicine it also reduce. Kindly advise ? Cause i’m worried it’s Covic-19 symptoms. TQ
