Hi, I am 25 year old Female. I have shortness of breathe. I feel anxious and my breathing becomes even worse. Now a days i am feeling more anxious with no reason. My heart is beating fast. I have no other health concern. My insuarnce got expired. I will take new one but after 2 weeks since my finanacial situation is not at all good right now. I experienced this problem in last December...went to doctor...she gave steroid in inhaler (albuterol)...i felt better...doctor said that might be asthma ... So can u plz tell me is there anything serious...i know i should take insurance as soon as possible...but jst want to know if there is anything emergency
Hi prashantithanks for coming to ChatDoctorAsthma is graded into controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled based on the frequency of the symptoms. As per your symptomatology it seems to be uncontrolled or partially controlled, so it needs to step up your therapy...you have to change your inhaler....you may opt for formoterol and budesonide combination which will be your controller as well as reliever medication since its onset of action is within 3-4 minutes... Asthma except for your acute severe asthma is not a medical emergency... Your symptoms of anxiety and palpitation can be due to excessive intake of albuterol...so needs changing of inhaled medication. Meet your doctor and best wishes
