I have been having issues with my breating off and on for literally ever now.. I have bad asthma but I am on daily meds. So I have been havin more troble this week and last night it was horrible i was unable to get my meds to work at all period and I was not breathing good so i had to go to the hospital. I went in and there were only two seats in the waiting room and it was packe.d Luckily they took my oxygen leval and heart rate and BP immediately as they saw me looking rough and immediately took me abck or I would have been there forever.. I am so exhausted and I did come to work today but I am leaving early. They gave me breathing treatment for well over an hour last night and shots and prescriptions for more inhaler (new one diff kind) and steroids and a new nebulizer and meds so hopefully that will help. but, now i need to go to my family dr this weekend to get his opinion and referral to a new specialist as i have to get a referral each year for my insurance..
I just want to go to bed!! I feel bad ive been keeping myself away coughing and breathing problems for months again and my husband too.. sometimes i think hes frustrated not with me but the situation. I just want to get over this health stuff

I really feel for you. My daughter has asthma and is on daily meds. Hers isn't as bad as yours (I don't think so anyway). She has never been hospitalized. She does have great difficulty with sports, getts sick easily, and missed some school with it. One thing that really seemed to help was when we got rid of the chemicals in our home. All those cleaning products and even what we were washing our laundry in was causing some of the irriation. Check out this site. They even have free online classes to show you some helpful things you can do :)
