I had my 1st asthma attack yesterday and suffered alone through the night i thought i was having a heart attack at one stage i could'nt speak and got absolutley no sleep as i could'nt breath laying down but also had difficulty moving around,my feet where freezing but the rest of me felt hot and i had chest pains and my head and left arm were tingley i also saw little black dots n sometimes lil white flashes out of the corner of my eyes during the day and night,my wheezing was very loud and seemed to keep going even as i stopped breething between gasps(should i have told this to my G.P?i dont want him to think im being melodramatic like my family did when i phoned them for help.my boyfriend told me asthma is a minor illness and ive only had it for a year and a halfish so i don't want to cause a fuss and i feel like im just moaning if i tell people or doctors how i been feeling so i don't really,but last night frightened the hell out of me)I have been treated by the GP today and was put on a Nebulizer as soon as he saw me and told me i had exacerbation of asthma and35% best rate or something along those lines although it was nt untill i went to him i realsied i'd had one. my family were telling me it was just a bad chest infection and thats why i was wheezing because i was hyping myself up (and i thought the gp was going to give me something for a chest infection) but i don't feel like the prednisolone i was subscribed are working(i have been told to take 8 at the same time every day along with 1 Cetirizine,2 puffs of Seintide 4 times daily and Subulatmol when needed)....and i've started wheezing ,coughing,and struggling to breath again and my hands are now feeling cold,does this mean im going to have another asthma attack?
