Asthma?

I'm on my phone so just briefly, it's probably the pred causing the insomnia. You shouldn't beef it every time you gave a cold as long as you keep up your preventer.

Thanks Tinks, that's reassuring :) Hopefully a few weeks of the preventer will get it under control then and I guess I can use the insomnia to my advantage with my exam coming up on Friday

Can anyone please tell me what their asthma is like? Can you have it without wheezing? The reason I ask is that I've been fairly short of breath for a while, especially if I've walked up a few flights of stairs or something like that. Recently I've had a nasty cold and found even talking a full sentence left me short of breath. The cold is mostly gone but I have a horrible cough, especially at night, and I've had a tight feeling in my chest with lots more shortness of breath between coughing spells. DH is a tad worried it is asthma, especially as ventolin seems to ease the cough, but I have no wheeze. Could it be asthma or is it more likely to be viral? I will of course see my gp but am just interested in other people's experiences :)
