up until about 6 weeks ago i had very mild asthma and was on 1 puff of 100mcg becotide twice per day and only needed my releiver inhaler about twice a week.Id only ever had one severe asthma attack.
However in the last 6 weeks i have had 2or3 attcks per week on average (sometimes more sometimes less) i have had 1 course of antibiotics and 2 attacks requiring treatment with a nebuliser.i have had my becotide put up to 4 puffs twice a day (this seems like a lot ) if i dont take my ventolin as soon as i wake up i cough so much i am sick and apart from that i probably take about ten puffs of my ventolin unless i have an attack and then its twenty ontop of that.the attacks come on so suddenly and my releiver doesnt seem to work as well as before.a few days ago i actually fainted during an attack,i thought i was going to die.please help.
any advice on meds / qs to ask the doctor when i see him tommorow would be much apreciated.
(hugs) to anyone else who is having trouble
