Try and relax first and foremost I know it is easier said than done. If you have taken all your meds and you are still having difficulty breathing then there is only one answer unfortunately and that is to contact your emergency medical providers.

Thought it was only me having a bad day....after a bad night!

The sun was shining yesterday so I went to my allotment with my portaneb. then cut the grass ,did washing and ironing.

You would think I would learn after years of being an asthmatic...so suffering today.

Pehaps you did too much as well. I am trying to steady my breathing but I had to take a few puffs of reliever. Tried the breathing exercise last night.

I also took some Gaviscon as I suffer from reflux.

As Jandan suggested try and relax, especially your chest area and breathe gently.

If no better ,you have to ask for medical help. My SATs can be good but still can be hard to breathe.

All the best

It's a tad better,not brill though

Best to get the doc to listen to your chest methinks. Hope you breathing easier soon .... also watch tv or read or do puzzle.. anything that distracts you. Helps me relax so helps breath relax too. X

I'm pretty sure the doc last nite was right,as my asthma nurse did a spirometer test back in feb,and although I'm 63 she said I had the lungs of a 37yr old,so that's encouraging,
