frustrated

I don't know if that's ever happened to me. I've had nasty bouts of bronchitis before, where just getting out of bed or walking down a hallway had me breathing like I'd just run a mile. That was before I'd been diagnosed. I haven't ever passed out  before, though...

anything else happen to you?

Hi Martin,

Have you had a chance to see a doctor yet? What I am going to give you should not be taken instead of a doctor's advice, but it will give you the information you need to get the right treatment and manage your care. Used this information to help you with the questions you need to ask your doctor.

First, I would start by reading the overview about asthma located here. I can also tell you that asthma symptoms are not always asthma, as acid reflux can also give off asthma like symptoms, particularly with coughing and breathing difficulties. You can check your symptoms here and if you think you might be having some issues related to acid reflux, you can check that out here.  

If you have seen your doctor and want to check out the medicines he has prescribed, you can look them up by name here.  

If you want to know about the latest in asthma treatments and findings, you can read all about that in this section of the overview.  

I hope you find this information helpful. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
