Is there anything I can do to help with my asthma induced shortness of breath until i can get some medication?!


Question: Is there anything I can do to help with my asthma induced shortness of breath until i can get some medication.?
I had an asthma attack today (while biking in the cold), and, because it is the first one I have had in a decade, I have no medication. I have been short of breath for hours today and i am starting to feel light-headed. I will go to the doctor tomorrow, but in the mean time, I just need to get my breath back, even little bit. I am having trouble taking deep breaths.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The bad thing about asthma is that it can go bad fast without treatment. I think you should go to the ER NOW!
I have seen people die who waited. Have somebody drive you or call 911, I think you should call 911, they can give you a treatment when they get to your home, and keep giving it to you on the way.

Please don't make the mistake of waiting all night to get help.Health Question & Answer

I take it you don't have an emergency inhaler.?.? If not get one from your Dr tomorrow.

In the meantime run hot water & breath it in you will get some relief..Have asthma & COPD & it helped me when I was out of my meds.
