I’ve recently been diagnosed as having adult asthma.
I’ve had various symptoms over the years including chest infections, acute rhinitis, etc. but not diagnosed as didn’t know it was an issue.
I was initially prescribed Ventolin but was moved over to Fostair a month or so later as the Ventolin wasn’t working.
My asthma has been getting worse again over the last few weeks so I had review with the asthma nurse who has now prescribed montelukast as well doubling up on the Fostair inhaler.
Over the last few days, I have had to have more than 7/8 puffs of Fostair a day sometimes and it’s still not enough. I’m also coughing and wheezing much more recently to the point of being physically sick quite a few times a day.
I read that I can use the Ventolin inhaler as needed which I did one last night but I’m worried about overusing the 2 different inhalers.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
