I was having problems getting oxygen the other day, cardiologist said my lungs were crystal clear. I have all the symptoms of asthma, as in muscle fatigue, wheezing (sometimes) etc. I also have high hemogloben. If it isn't asthma, what could it be?

Muscle fatigue is not a symptom of asthma. The most common symptoms of asthma are wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness (although there can be other symptoms like chronic cough). If the cardiologist said your lungs are clear it doesn't sound like asthma but you might see a pulmonologist to get checked out.
