What you need is an asthma action plan. You can read about what this is and how to implement one here.

In the meantime, I highly recommend you call your asthma doctor and get in to see him immediately. If you don't have a doctor, if his office is closed, you should consider having someone drive you to the emergency room. There are great medicines that can get you felling better if you seek help.

Thank you for your input
