Breathing problems
I am having breathing problems sometimes only. Sometimes I get up in middle of night feeling short of oxygen or finding a little hard to breathe, it's like I can feel the pollution. It never happened before, it all started around 2016 Diwali. Sometimes I feel no problem for months and sometimes I have it 4-5 times in a month. In these cases I use otrivin and try talking deep breath, which help a little.

These could be asthma...get yourself evaluated by pulmonologist. You will require spirometry and some blood tests.
