Hello.I ve been having breathing problems for more than a month. I feel like I can t breathe as if someone is suffocating me.It especially gets worst when I lay down or am asleep. I have been to two doctors, the first doctor diagnosed me with asthma and said I need to take cortisone inhalers. After a week of using it for only once a day, it got a lot better.After I stopped using the inhaler, the breathing difficulties returned again. This time, I went to a different doctor since the old one wasn t available anymore. The other doctor said I do not have asthma at all. I made many different tests and they all said I was fine. I didn t have anemia or heart problems and my blood pressure was just fine. The doctor just gave me a multivitamin for general health and said I need to come back for the X-Ray for my chest. What could be the real reason for it? It s getting really worst lately. I don t know what to do anymore. For some reason, my parents and doctor doesn t think i m asthematic, but I was diagnosed with it as a child and one time during my teenage years, and the other doctor disagrees about me having it in the first place. I don t have coughing or weezing, just shortness of breath. How come the inhaler made me feel better if it wasn t the case? Thanks, Allison.
