Are breathing difficulty, tiredness and mucus in throat signs of asthma?
Patient: what would be the symptoms of ashtma and i am having diffuculty bvreathing i am having tiredness i have mucus in the back of my throat and i am constantly yawning and i was just told by a doctor over the phone that it was not cancer so is it asthma Doctor: HelloDifficulty in breathing , tiredness ,mucus in the back of throat , constantly yawing may be to these reasons , these include:1 Bronchial asthma :Airways hyperresponsiveness that is  secondary to inflammatory airway disease that results in recurrent or chronic episodes of wheeze,Shortness of breath ( SOB ), CHEST tightness , &/or cough particularly at night or in the early morning.2 Bronchiectasis , in this usually patient feels as some mucus is plugged in throat . However it is very difficult to say something on the behalf of these symptoms . At present I can say that these are not the symptoms of CANCER.Anemia may be one such cause of these symptoms. Cardiac involvement may be the another reason .In my opinion the best way is to consult a physician and get his opinion because physical examination is important.Hope this will help you.
