▲ 3 r/Asthma

I’ve never really had any major symptoms of asthma throughout my life, however I have been smoking a couple cigarettes a day for the past 2 years. I am currently quitting, and I have been taking mullein for the past week to help clear out my lungs. Lately I have also noticed slight air hunger (not to the point of it being debilitating, but still noticeable) and slight wheezing as well, but no chest tightness or dry cough. I run as well, and I haven’t noticed any breathing problems or otherwise when I do go for runs except for coughing, which from what I understand from the research I have done is not uncommon for those without asthma. I also have seasonal allergies, but I don’t have noticeable asthma symptoms/flare ups when my allergies get pretty bad. Is it possible or even likely that I do have asthma but am not showing all symptoms of it, or is what I am feeling solely a result of smoking?
