Hi there any help would be very appreciated!!!

So for the past few months i have had some trouble breathing my family Dr. Had given me an inhaler and was unsuccessful. In total i have tried 4 the blue the orange the purple and the white powder one.

None have given relief...

I cant full my lungs completley and the very odd time that i do my head has to be looking straight up.

I have a rattle AND a wheeze when i inhale only (all the time) with pain between my shoulder blades.

On occasion i have a dry cough that will last up to 10 mins leaving me winded. And 24 hrs a day i have chest tightness my best reference is that it feels like my 6 yr old is sitting on my chest while lating on my back. Similar pressure... Please please help!!! Google is telling my possible COPD is asthma a misdiagnose since any of the 4 inhalors do not help AT ALL..

    Hi Michelle. Your doctor should definitely send you for a scan. I have broncheactesis with all the symptoms you have. Inhalers do nothing for me   It sounds like COPD.  just nag your doctor for an appt with hospital 

    Good luck

      Just went to the hospital... Dr was a young guy who couldn't havr cared less to be there....he fully reclined in the chair and said there is nothing he can do.. He said he wont give me a ct as he thinks exposing me to radiation is more harmful than dealing with my breathing issues.. Do i keep going nack and waiting hours upon hours again..
