Please don't worry it's not bad, you will be fine. When you get breathless use your blue inhaler. Please keep posting to let us know how you are. Take care 😊 xxx Bernadette

Anxiety will not help. Read the instructions with your inhaler and if your beginning to panic sit quietly and breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Slowly. I'm sure you will be fine, panic attacks are horrible I'm on medication now because of them which I'm cutting down on I thought I was having a bad attack once and it turned out that yes I was wheezy but the majority of it was a panicky attack. Talk to your GP or asthma nurse at your surgery. If your really worried then call 111 and get advise. There are also asthma nurses on here you can talk to. Don't let the anxiety beat you

Your blue Inhaler is a "reliever" and can be used quite a lot (but shouldn't be normally just during a flare up and occasionally when your ok) so my advice if you think your chest is tight and your not sure it's probably ok to take it
