Is it asthma or COPD

[Kkkk12]

I never smoke a cigarette and I never around people that smoke but my breathing is getting worse and it stay worse it doesn’t seem to get any better. I was start with a chronic cough then it turned in to bronchitis and my doctor diagnosed me with asthma since then but my breathing getting worse and worse. My chest is killing me. I can’t do anything I get out of my breathe. Please comment thanks

If it's getting worse, go back to the doctor. Are you just using ventilin or a steroid preventer inhaler too?

[Kkkk12 in reply to moogle]

Yes I use steroids inhaler and ProAir as needed but I can’t breathe at all at night I sit up all night. Cause symptoms bother all the time.

Hello Kkkk12, I agree with moogle, if your cough is getting worse as well as breathing problems, then you need to go back to your G.P, it would be a good idea in my opinion to ask to have a scan, that way you will know for sure what you have. Please let us know the outcome? Take care of yourself 🙂

I went to doctor this morning he told me it is an asthma but I can’t breathe everyday. I am so scare right now. I do t know what to do or I just going to die like that I’m only 35 yrs I am so sick and can’t do anything else just sit down I still shortness of breath.

Kkkk12, try to calm down a little bit do your breathing excercise, breathe slowly in through your nose, breathe slowly out through your pursed lips as if you are blowing out a candle. Do this until your breathing calms down and then relax O.K. What exactly did your doctor say? Did he give you any prescription? You are panicking at the moment and that will make you feel worse. You just need to calm down and your breathing will calm right down. If after doing your breathing correctly you are still having lots of problems then ring 111 and get the help you need. But hopefully you will start to feel better then you need to go back to your G.P tomorrow O.K✋️😊

My doctor didn’t give me anything. He told me continue my med if I don’t feel any better come see him but as right now my symptoms still the same. I just wonder if anyone out there have the same symptoms like me. I feel I can’t breathe 24/7 chest discomfort all day it’s been going on for 2 weeks now. I’m hoping someone can give me some advice cause it seems to not under control at all it is getting worse some days I try to not think about it but it is so stressful with uncomfortable feeling that you can’t breathe like normal. I’m going to see new dr next week hopefully she can figure it out or help me back to normal again. Please guys for your reply...🙏🙏🙏🙏

When I felt like that , I called the ambulance and got taken in to hospital for a week, they sorted it.
