Ive not long been diagnosed with asthma, im 19 years old.
At first with just the reliever inhaler i was doing ok, but after a while i started to feel breathless and wheezy again. I went back to my doctor and he gave me the preventer inhaler and ive been using that. But when i stop using it i get really bad again. When im using it i feel much better, but the nurse said use it for 2 weeks and i have and then stopped it and now im back to wheezing and coughing and such
Anyone know what i can do?
Hi kylie,
If you feel worse after stopping the inhalers, I would suggest you go back and see your gp or asthma nurse and explain that this happens. They should be able to give you the correct inhalers and the right amount of times to use the inhalers to keep your asthma under control.
Let me know how you get on.
