I was just diagnosed with asthma at the age of 24. It does mean a bit of a lifestyle change, more cleaning, mite cover of bed extra nice filter in heater/ac...HEPA vacume. But once you get it in control it isn't all that bad. It will continue to surprise you at the most inopprotune times though. IE my asthma attack in church on christmas eve! It didn't resolve on its own so I had to go on steroids over the holidays!! But stay positive and know patience is key and a good doctor!

thank you for answering so fast. just still cant belive i got it now this late in life. i worry because i feel like not short of breath but like mt windpipe gets coverd up for a min and i cant breath good , but not having other asthmas like whez or cough. i guess the dr will beable to tell mondasy i hope so cant keep going on and not know.
guess it not to bad if i can use inhaler with one puff and it go away.
thank you again
It sounds very much like asthma. You can be out of breath, wheezing or coughing alone or all at the same time. Yours sounds like the cold air and leaves were also making it worse, so try to cover your nose and mouth with a scarf or something when you go out to help prevent symptoms.
Your doctor will do some tests and listen to confirm that diagnosis, or suggest something else if it turns out that you don't have asthma.
Good luck!
