I'm 37 and have never had any respiratory issues. I've had hayfever on and off since about 23. My mum has asthma which is worse when she has a chest infection or cold.
I've had two colds since Easter and this time it went to my chest (10 days ago) after a few days of seeming to be ok. I have been coughing, but also feeling very breathless for the last 5 days or so. Just whilst having a conversation, sitting on the train, watching tv etc. It just comes on suddenly for a few seconds. I'm also so tired. I've been running and swimming as normal and apart from swimming today I haven't felt too bad during actual exercise. Having not suffered any hayfever symptoms this year so far, I feel over the last 2 days itchy eyes and the air feels 'thick'.
Could I have asthma triggered by hay fever? Is that even a thing? I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow night.
