New to Board

Hi Im Mia....im new to this board.... I have recently been diagnosed with Asthma so I am still new to it. I just experienced my first asthma attack this past weekend and it lasted all weekend. I started to have warning signs Friday morning and still went about my normal daily activities which included running. I took my med 15 mins before like I was told to but half way into my run I started wheezing so I went back home and for the rest of the weekend I was out of breath and very very tired. I used my albuterol a couple times a day and it helped...im finally starting to feel like myself again....I still have some shortness of breath but a lot better than it was this weekend. I didnt know attacks could last so long...is that usually the case?

Thanks. I am going to try to make an appointment soon with my doctor. I do not see an allergist but I do see an pulmonologist for my asthma. Right now the only med I have is my rescue inhaler...Albuterol.
