If you had asthma you would feel like you were trying to breath through a soda straw that was in your mouth. The end sticking out of your mouth would feel like it was totally pinched closed. Basically, you would be trying to suck air through an opening that no longer exist.

I agree with Oakleaf, see an allergist if your allergies are a reoccurring issue. I went through the tests about 15 years ago and have taken shots since. The shots have made a world of difference for me during my worse seasons (spring and fall). The number of sinus infections I suffer from has also dramatically decreased.

I do take daily medicines - allegra, singulaire and I use two inhalers to control my asthma. It may take trying several medications/combinations before you find what works best for you. What works for one person may not work for you.
