Posted , 4 users are following.
back to the Drs again but left things far too long before I went 3 days of struggling ,wheezing,coughing but kept thinking it will be ok tomorrow and it wasn't.. Got a good telling of from the dr more steroids seretide,antibiotics and a plan of 6 puffs of ventolin every 4 hours for 2 day down to 4 every 4 hours for 2 days she said if I needed more then straight to hospital and never to leave getting help. One week on finished steroids and 2 days later started struggling again went straight away now on more antibiotics and a 3 weeks tappered down steroids. With 8 taken straight away my local chemist was opening them for me with a glass of water telling me to take them there and then.. Now on day 6 and feel so much better just hope once the 3 weeks is up things will stay good

If that happens again you should ring an ambulance straight away.
When I was 20 I left an attack too long and ended up DYING in the ambulance on the way to hospital - I have learnt my lesson and NEVER wait now.
If you need a nebuliser at home you can get good ones on Amazon, but if you are not used to having asthma then NEVER self diagnose.....
Remember, the ambulance service will never tell you that you have done the wrong thing and never feel embarrased about it.
You should be on a preventative inhaler. It does now sound to me as though you are on the correct medication (I have been an asthmatic since birth - I am now 46 and have had Brittle Asthma for 30 odd years.)
You need to ask to see an asthma specialist at your local hospital.
Good luck !
