I have asthma but lately have had a hard time breathing and a rattle that even coughing stuff up which is very little, it wont go away. I have a stabbing in my left shoulder blade and sometimes feel in in front. I believe this is occurring from so much coughing. I also had broncitus a few years back when I was diagnosed with asthma. Is it the weather causing all the problems?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are always some triggering factor and most likely dust, pollen and seasonal changes. You have to be more careful during seasonal change. Also try to avoid dust, smoky area. Cover your face with helmet or handkerchief on two-wheeler. You have to take anti-allergic like levocetrizine, montelucast with ambrosial during asthmatic episodes. Start bronchodilators like terbutalin, doxaphylline according to severity. During severe episodes take inhalation therapy with nebulizer. Rota caps with micronized dose of steroid with bronchodilators is more helpful. Keep in touch with your doctor. Inhalation therapy is now days more helpful and recommended than oral treatment.
