I have trouble breathing sometimes. It just feels like there's a big lump on my chest that's blocking my oxygen. I've had it on and off for years but it recently got worse after a brief bout with malaria. Before i used to get it after exposure to cold or cold but now it just comes on every night through warm or cold weather. I could go see a doctor but i think i'd like opinions from the online community first. I don't know what asthma feels like but i've heard there's varying degrees. Is that what this is?

No need. Went to a hospital, did some tests, i have asthma.
