Hi, it's been quite a while since I've addressed this problem, and I have been ignoring it, but I really want to go back to the quality of life I had before.
I've had asthma for a my whole life, very mild, easily controlled with a daily inhaler and an emergency, along with xyzal, zyrtec, singulair, etc.
At the beginning of 2016, I made some huge healthy and dietary changes and I got off all my meds and I never felt better. I lost around 60 lbs. and made it to varsity in my wrestling team in high school. Unfortunately, I had to quit the season early because while I was on a 2 mile run in the winter, my right lung contracted suddenly, and ever since then I cannot get a full breath in that lung, and both lungs contract and tighten significantly when I do any form of exercise.
I got a chest x-ray, informed my doctor and even got back on meds for a month, but nothing has changed. I'm off meds again, and have switched to a plant-based diet in hopes that it helps my lungs. I'd just really like some suggestions on what to do and how to return to normal.
