I was hospitalised for few days and was diagnosed with allergy asthma - blood test shows high ige reading.

Previously 2 puffs of symbicot and i will be fine but now taking it does little or nothing.

The doctor recomend that i use spirivia 2puffs once a day, symbicot 4 puffs morning and 4 at night.

I got my first xoliar shot 2 days ago.

I am still feeling short of breath constantly.

Will i ever be back to normal ? This is the first time i got an asthma attack so bad and lasting so long and i m getting desperate.

Please advice.

I am slowly getting better, ive been having some good days when i dont feel short of breath at all.

Main problem is in the morning after brushing i suspect im allergic to the toothpaste. May have to try changing different brand.

The doctor given me montelukast in addition to symbicot and spirivia.

I will be getting 2nd dose of xoliar next week (recommended by doctor and was told my IGE reading was 1,400 ?

Anyway im feeling positive and looking forward to getting better and back to work.
