Definitely visit a doctor. If they suspect asthma from the description of your symptoms, they can do a chest x-ray or a spirometry, which is a lung function test. When they did mine, they did some breathing tests before giving me asthma medicine, then after to see if it made a difference. That's how I was diagnosed. Stay away from anything over the counter. Asthma isn't something to mess around with, so get it checked out soon.

Have you tried eliminating dairy from your diet? I suffered my whole life with asthma until I stopped consuming dairy and started taking small doses of natural ephedrine...this is the one I use:

Also...explore this website:

The first step is BELIEVING that you can and will be well...that you do not NEED meds for the rest of your life...and that you WILL breathe normally again!!!
You'll see!!
I'm very healthy now and there was a time when I could barely get up a flight of stairs without losing my breath....the toxins in dairy are a direct link to breathing problems...also a lack of sunlight and dependency on meds only makes matters worse.
I wish you the BEST !!!!!!!

Don't ever take over the counter medications for asthma. They aren't safe to take if you don't know what you are doing.
When you wheeze, is it on exhaling (blowing out) or is it when you inhale (breathe in)?
If you wheeze when you exhale, it is probably asthma. If you wheeze when you inhale, it's probably an upper respiratory infection.
Either way, if you have trouble breathing and are wheezing, you should see your doctor.
If you can't see a doctor and are in school, go see your school nurse when you have an 'attack'.

Read the book: you're not sick, you're thirsty. 6-8 glasses of water is highly recommended. Also take 2 tbls. of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. People think they are sick when all they really need is water and acv. Read the website.

Sounds possible. See a doctor when you have symptoms to know for sure.
