Crackling chest

[Wheezalungs]

Went to docs yesterday with cracking chest and put me on steroid inhaler, i have been walking around like at work and the supermarket and have felt really out of breath and i am feel like i am hitting a brick wall with my breathing literally and yes i know this is a strange analogy not quite sure what to do

You poor thing, I hope you start to feel better soon.

Hi know how you feel.. Hope you get better soon with the steroids if not ask for a referral to the clinic, Take care xx

Sounds horrible. If the inhaled steroid doesn't kick in soon go back and ask for something else.

You need time to relax and let the stuff work. The more worried you get about it the worse it feels. If you need a day off work, you should take it. Order stuff online from the supermarket. If you have a blue 'rescue' inhaler use it occasionally to help you breathe more easily. Rest. Give it 2 or 3 days and if you don't feel right, go back to the Doctor.

I have been on montelukast for 3 years. I did have a slight hand tremor to begin with but it quickly subsided. Otherwise have been fine on it 10mg every night.
