Hello, I am  27yr old female and weigh 62kg. I have never had any major health problems.Seven days ago I suddenly had some chest pains and difficulty in taking deep breaths. I am typically very healthy but over the past few weeks have felt very tired and as though my legs muscles in particular were aching all of the time. I saw my GP last week who did some tests and diagnosed me with asthma. However I did not find the salbutamol pump very effective. In addition to this I often felt quite nauseous after using the inhaler so have not used it for the past two days- there has been no adverse affect to my breathing but I still generally feel unwell. Sometimes I just need to lie down as I feel so sick and exhausted- usually at night time. I had a full blood count last week and the results were all normal. I also have eczema and have had an on-going sore throat for a few months. I do not have swollen glands or a fever at all. Thanks in advance for any help! Folu
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... Noted you are diagnosed with asthma... For its confirmation pulmonary functional test done.... Auscultation will reveal rhonchi.... Here if asthma confirmed albuterol pump taken SOS... If not effective we have to start former plus budesonide low dose pump...of 200 mg once daily.... Inhaler should have taken with proper technique. So learn it from staff of hospital... For sore throat swab can take for culture and appropriate antibiotic given... Regular follow up needed.... Hope your concern solved. Take care... Chat Doctor.
