What are you supposed to do if you have an asthma attack? |
Lately my asthma has been flaring up...I just had an asthma attack and can breath however I am still congested and coughing. Am I to call the doctor( this is my first real one)? thanks. You should follow your asthma action plan. Obviously your asthma is worsening you need to step up your therapy. You should be taking a daily controller medication. If you are taking it, you either need to increase the dose or add another dose. You may need oral steroids for a short while. You probably should see an asthma specialist not just a GP. You should call the doctor and ask him to prescribe a rescue inhaler, such as albuterol, to be used in the event of an attack. I've had a lot of them so go to your doctor and see what they can do if they can't do anything go to the hospital |
