Does my experience sound like Asthma?

So, I am not looking for a diagnosis, obviously, but I guess some comfort? I have I think a very particular situation because I am 35 and I used to be morbidly obese (almost 130kgs) and one day deciding I had enough (I wasnt obese all my life but started gaining a lot in my mid 20s). It took me about a year and a half to snap back to my high school weight basically, I did keto, intermittent fasting, walking 10k every day and limiting my calories to 1500. I did everything, I just wanted another chance at feeling normal. And on the day I decided I had hit my goal weight, I wanted to have a taste of my old foods, so I dived into a lot of cookies, It was Thursday, November, 2021. Next day, Friday, it would be a water fasting day for me. That Friday I was out doing my 10k walk, and I suddenly felt breathless. I asked my partner to slow down as he usually walks a bit too fast for my normal pacing, it happened quite a few times before, but this time i could not catch my breath. I also started yawning continuously like every 3-4 seconds.I remember unwrapping my scarf and unzipping my jacket as I was thinking oh well this is odd and then I basically had a panic attack thinking I was having a heart attack. That was also a first in my life so I had no idea what a panic attack was or felt like. We called an ambulance, I remember I started feeling a bit better after waiting about half an hours, laying on the pavement, trying not to die. And I started shaking uncontrollably.

Now I went to the ER since a few times with the same symptoms, I thought I was dying my worst fear was my heart but I was cleared every time. Docs picked on my diet, advised I should stop until we figure out what was causing this but all in all it kinda settled down to being a bad case of acid reflux, i got prescriptions for that and it worked at least for a while though I would only take those for a month or two, then I would be fine then everything would come back up.

Being just after covid and coupled with the fact that i am in Ireland (very odd and difficult health system, everything needs to go through a GP, not enough GPs), I could not get a hold of a doctor other than through ER because I would always answer yes to covid related prescreening questions (do you feel tired? do you have a cough? do you have chest pains?). Also my GP kept advising me to just talk to friends, that I was under a lot of stress and that was causing the acid and the panic attacks.

But something just didn't sit right to me, and it took just this much time for me to change things around and try different things and try to understand what is causing it what is making it worse.... it was hard, because I did have a lot of anxiety, some of the symptoms were obviously caused by my thinking or reading some medical articles etc. And I do have acid reflux issues too, arguably caused by anxiety.

Anyway, fast forward to now, a friend of mine recommended I try a supplement called Ashwagandha. Its supposed to help with stress and anxiety and many people swear by it. I swear by it now too. I was so anxious for all this time that anything like a person killed in a movie or smth would trigger a panic attack. I had heart palpitations non stop almost every day sometimes i would have trouble sleeping and on top of it, I was a lot of the time out of breath. I stopped going for my walks because I feared triggers, I started eating badly again because I was trying to avoid having acid reflux episodes again and so on and so forth. This supplement and to be fair also Magnesium, helped me. In a few weeks I was feeling weirdly calm and composed. And I loved it. And I could observe with a more clear head my symptoms.

Basically, my palpitations and my panic attacks are gone. I no longer suspect this to be my heart there is no symptom that would indicate that. However, I am out of breath still sometimes and I remembered a few things to correclate it with. First doctor that saw me did mention it might be an "exercise induced asthma" just at that time that just passed by me, I was obsessed with heart issues. But now, I noticed one day in my garden i was running after my dog and I got stuffy all of a sudden, started wheezing. I never had that happen before, but we moved in the countryside recently so there are probably more allergens in the area. Also, the night after the day we painted some walls, it was very dusty, I had a really bad wheezing episode before sleep. I purchased an air purifier and now I am changing bed sheets every few days, I noticed I wake up without a wheeze whenever everything is clean and fresh.

The worst part though seems to be the car. I though the movements just stirred my stomach too much before, when everything was basically blamed on GERD. But now I have a feeling it is just the air, I feel almost instantly sleepy too.

I also remember a few hints of asthma, possibly, throughout my life? Like I used to be in my schools aerobic team, I was good at it as a kid used to be very athletic, but I would sometimes stop to catch my breath and I remember I was the only one with that issue. I remember it having it later too, in university, when I started running, i would stop quite often to catch my breath unlike my friends but I also thought it could be just my deviated septum. It just always felt like I could not draw enough air , though it never was as bad as when all of this started a year and a half ago.

I know mostly nothing of Asthma, but I am beginning to think I need to see a doctor with this new revelation, so far it did not even occur to me it could be allergies and asthma. But can it just get worse like this late in life? I feel so mad that I might have triggered it somehow just being clueless. Maybe I shocked my system badly that day by eating all those carbs after a year+ of keto....
