I have been short of breath the last 2 days. I get relief when I use my rescue inhaler but it soon comes back. I go through this every once and a while and it usually last for a few days. Last night...

I would make another appt with my doctor! I was on Flovent for about 3 months last year and it actually made my symptoms a lot worse. I was always short of breath and the chest tightness was constant...
Well I got my results today of my MRI and Xrays. It was good news!! Everything looks good and theres no herniated disc. I do have muscle and deep soft tissue damage and I have a buldged disc in my...
Thanks everyone for you replies. I go to the doctor tomorrow morning for my MRI and Xray results. So I will let you know what the doctor says and what they plan on doing....
The dust on the fans could be causing a problem to. I make sure to keep my fan cleaned off. I try to get my bf to clean it for me b/c the dust bothers me so bad. Now I clean it off regular to wear...

Hi and welcome to HW. Sorry to hear your having a rough time. I know it hard to adjust to having asthma when you have not had it all your life. I was just diagnosed a lil over a year ago. Although...
I hate having to use my rescue inhaler due to the side effects I sometimes feel. Sometimes but not all the time it makes me jittery and at night I cant sleep. There has been a couple times that I...
I was just recently started on Advair 250/50 and I have albuterol as needed. I was on Flovent but it actually made my asthma worse. So far the advair has worked great!!...

Allura I agree with you. The new ones dont seem to work as well as the old ones. I have to use more of my rescue inhaler when I have problems then I use to. I could use my old one twice and be fine....
MegCough- It does sound like we are very much in the same situation. I have not had a full blown asthma attack either. I have come close, but I experience a lot of shortness of breath and chest...
Well I think asthma alone may contribute to that. I think our lungs are so sinsitive that we catch stuff a lot easier. I think till your body gets use to the meds your are more prone to infections. I...

Well my doctor took me off Flovent and put me on Advair. What is your experience with Advair and what are the most common side effects u experience with it?...
I did call my doctor and he just told me to stop taking flovent and that he will see me on the 15th of august...
I was wondering what your experience is/was with Flovent if you have/had been on it? I was on it for the past couple of months and it seemed to help at first but as time went on it seemed that my...
I get the pain in my upper back a LOT!!!! I have only had asthma for a year and half and I had my first asthma exacerbation about 2 months ago after a case of bronchitis. I was on prednisone for 2...
its only been a month and half since I had Bronchitis and I went through the antibiotic treatment as well as a round of prednisone. I was finally starting to feel better. Now my cough is back and...
I think the soreness could be from coughing so much when I was sick in combination with my asthma still flaring up. But this is my first time experiencing this so I really cant say....
Allisonc7 wow you sound just like me. I got sick the 15th of May with Bronchitis. I am having the exact same symptoms as far as the shortness of breath. My back pain/tightness can be worse at times...
Its just my upper back that is hurting me....
Thanks for the website. The only thing im wondering is that one of the sypmtoms is sharp pain when breathing. My pain is always there and it really doesnt seem to hurt any worse with breathing. When...
This is my first exacerbation with asthma so its a learning experience for me. But I coughed a lot when I was sick so I could just be really sore. I ran around a lot at work tonight and I could feel...
Your right I am hesitant to call my doctor again b/c I have called/seen him 3 times the past 3 weeks. Like I said the back tightness/pain has been going on for a week now and if it doesnt ease up...
Im 23 yrs old. I just started Flovent a month and half ago and it seemed to be working but then I caught bronchitis 3 weeks ago and been struggling with getting back to normal with that. about a week...
The meds im on right now is Flovent 2x daily, Albuterol as needed and I have one day left on Prednisone....
My next appt is not till August 15th....
Well im down to the last 3 days of my prednisone. I think it has helped even though my chest is sore and my ribs in my back are killing me between my shoulder blades. Hopefully this will end soon....
My cough is better now that we got the bronchitis taken care of. I cough from time to time now but its b/c the infection has caused an asthma exacerbation and I have a lot of mucus in my lungs right...
I noticed it gives me a little bit of energy but then I crash. I get really tired and feel weak. But it can already feel it working. The chest tightness has already eased up....
Thanks everyone for the good advice! I just started my prednisone this morning so we'll see how it goes. I had a rough night last night. I was awake all night with shortness of breath and chest...

Well I just got back from the doctor again. The bronchitis is gone but now im having an asthma flare up, which is causing all the coughing and chest tightness. So my Doctor putting me on a short...

Well its going on day 4 of the antibiotic treatment and I feel a lil better but my cough still sounds so bad. I still have a lot in my lungs and i only have 3 more days of treatment left. My peak...
I didnt know that and im a milk drinker so I will keep that in mind. Thanks...
Right now I am using an OTC cough medicine and its helping so far. I didnt realize how much I was coughing and my chest is sore from it. Question... is feeling short of breath normal with bronchitis?...
