Just wondered if anyone out there experiences stop/start asthma attacks?
I quite ofter will have an attack that needs a visit to costa, I'll have a neb or 2, stop the attack, then within a few minutes it starts all over again (full attack).
I got called special/odd by a very lovely nurse in A&E last night due to this! Lol x

It's probably the nebs wearing off, the nebs were treating your symptoms rather than the cause of the attack. So once they've warn off your symptoms return.
Sorry to hear you've been ill... hope your feeling better very soon!
I think this is quite normal. Last time I was in A&E the doctor kept checking on me and asking if things felt as if they had resolved. I gave him the thumbs up and he said good he would check me again soon and by the time he was back I was off again in another full blown attack. He said not to lie to him.....he knew I was wanting to go home......cos as soon as he checked my lungs he would know exactly what the situation was. I can honestly say I was not trying to get home because I knew how ill I was but the nebs give a false impression and I did think I was over the worst.
