Eric,

 

It can be dangerous to self-diagnose. While your risk for developing asthma is high, given your family history, you should still get an official diagnosis from a doctor. Once that is done, getting a prescription for an inhaler for you shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, if your breathing problems are NOT related to asthma, then seeing your doctor should put you on the road to the RIGHT treatment for your condition.

 

To your health,

Kathi
