Hi this is my first post since joining the forum and I am new to all this but I wanted to offer my sympathy. I get times when I can't breath and get in a real panic. hopefully the increased Fostair will help you Having a chest infection makes breathing harder in my experience. I know once I start to feel very breathless the panic sets in and the anxiety makes it worse. Anyway I do hope you are feeling better, having attacks like that in a public place when everyone else seems to be having an enjoyable time is a lonely scary experience.

Did your GP offer any explanation as to what may have caused it? The air quality in nottingam isn't good and the pollen is out now it's spring!

Take care.

Hope you are feeling better very soon. It's not nice having an attack but especially in public. Not many people understand asthma. I'm glad you got nebulised and the right treatment. Anything can flare up your asthma and it might be that this infection has flared it up as there will be more inflammation and muck in your airways than normal.

Just remember to rest and listen to your body. The increase in fostair should start to help, but if you're not feeling better make sure you get seen over the bank holiday weekend and don't leave it.

Feel better soon
