I honestly think it's dietary. I stopped eating sugar and refined carbohydrates for about 2 years but a few months ago I broadened my diet again and since then I've had a sort of 'crackling' in my lungs that comes on about 10pm each evening. A couple of times it's developed into an uncomfortable shortness of breath and I've had to borrow my partner's asthma inhaler. That's what happened last night, I think I kept waking up because I couldn't breathe. I'd eaten a curry for dinner and spicy food never really agrees with me. I worry about asthma because my entire family has it and I seemed to be the only one who dodged that genetic bullet, I don't fancy starting now.
This sounds like it might be acid reflux or a GI issue. I have both GI issues (dysmotility) and seasonal asthma, and sometimes the sensations can be quite similar. Another note: asthma and acid reflux often occur together (and make each other worse).
I hope you can figure out what is going on either way. Do you plan on seeing a doctor about it?

Just feeling down in general. I'm not a fan of the holidays, and the bad news about the house we put a bid on is making me even more frustrated/grumpy/unstable today.
