Hello all,
I've had asthma for ages, but I had my first "real" attack 2 days ago.
5 days earlier I started coughing, being out of breath. My GP had me take my normal medicines and ventolin a bit more often. But it didn't help, it only got worse. When I phoned him back with difficulty breathing, he told me to go to A&E.
At A&E the doctors give me 3 inhalers, and my lung scan was perfect. I left with Seretide 2 times a day and 3 puffs of Ventolin 3 times a day.It's been 2 days and I still have breathing difficulties (although much less severe) and chest pains.
How do you all feel after a severe attack? Is what I'm feeling normal?
Thanks xx
