Both mean me, myself or I, depending on context. Mir is the dative case, and mich is the accusative case, e.g.

Es geht mir gut = I'm fine

Ich habe mir ein Buch gekauft = I bought myself a book

Es geht mich nichts an = it's nothing to do with me

"Mich" is the accusative form of "I" and is used as the direct object of a sentence, while "mir" is the dative form of "I" and is used as the indirect object of a sentence. For example, "Er sieht mich" translates to "He sees me" and "Er gibt mir das Buch" translates to "He gives me the book."

Mich means myself. If a person is talking about doing something to themselves, like I wash myself or I comb my hair, mich would be used.

Mir means to me. If a person is talking about doing something to or for someone else, mir is used. For example, give me the book.

It really depends on what you are saying: If you are looking at a picture of yourself and saying "That is me!" then its Das bin ich. - That is I. (me) = ich If your asking a question: "Do you love me?" "Liebst du mich?" - literally "Love you me?" - mich meaning "me" Lastly Give it to me! - Gibt es zu mir! the word "zu" makes the form of "me" change to "mir" there are other prepositions that do the same search "German prepositions" and ypu will get a list with all the different cases.

The German sentence makes little sense and is grammatically incorrect. I think what you're trying to say is I don't feel well, my asthma is killing me which translates as Ich fühle mich nicht wohl, mein Asthma bringt mich um or Mir gehts nicht gut, mein Asthma bringt mich um.
