Diagnosed May do have moments where bresthing a little off but think more so if I am not feeling well what about you

Diagnosed 1 year ago with mild/moderate and also asthma.. I'm doing OK most of the time don't really notice any difference except get wheezy at times then I use blue inhaler and feel OK.. Have had 3 chest infections since being diagnosed last one was hospitalised for 3 days.. Don't really suffer with breathlessnes unless I'm going up lots of stairs..I still smoke.. xx

I always try to err on the side of caution, I think a call to your doctor is in order.

You need to be checked sounds like you may have a fever and it could easily turn into phumonia and be careful with how many times you use your rescue inhaler without your Doctor approval
