Also: With this heatwave I hope everyone has a full rescue inhaler with them at all timesand if you have a nebulizer, a full bottle of medicine!!!! Keep watching your peak flows too!!!

I get the same thing where I get breathing issues when walking up and down stairs and even after I've stopped walking and am sitting down in class, I'll keep having breathing troubles for a while longer.

I was told I longer have asthma though after having a lung function test but I still take my meds, as when I came off them I had more difficulty breathing but in my throat area. It was really bad and scary. So I went back on my meds and haven't tried coming off of them since.

I do get breathing problems with anxiety though but even when it is anxiety I have troubles on the stairs. My Dad reckons it's a fitness issue as I hardly do sport because of my frequent breathing attacks. I am slim though and find it extremely difficult to put on weight.

Honestly, I haven't cleaned out my spacer in ages and I don't get that problem but I do get after tastes with atriovent, a stronger med that I have.

Rinse out your mouth after each time you use your asthma meds, it may help with the aftertaste.

Sometimes I feel I have worse symptoms after I sit down and stop moving too. How scary for you to be told you are no longer asthmatic only to have the symptoms still there, the doctor was clesrly wrong. Anxiety will defnately trigger an attack, emotions will set me off too. How are you doing overall now?

I've actually been having severe breathing problems all day and night recently but today was the best day I've had in a while and hopefully it stays that way but it's unpredictable. I am always up and down with this.

Thanks for asking.

How have you been? :)

I know how you feel! Asthma is unpredictable. I just walked up the stairs just now and had breathlessness. Thank you for asking to be friends. Are you on chat?

Currently, my asthma is completely out of control. I have a doctor's appointment Monday. Your other post only just now showed up for some reason.

Yeah. :/ i get breathlessness nearly everytime I use the stairs at school and I even feel weak in the legs while going up them especially. It's really bad and scary.

No problem :) I really need to chat to people who know what I'm going through. I really wish I knew about this site a long time ago. It has made me feel so much better because in my life, people don't understand and they don't try to either. Just tell me to get over it. they have no idea.

No. I am on iPad. So some things aren't on here and I need to go shortly anyway.

:/ well that's good that your seeing someone as soon as possible because neglecting asthma is the worst thing a person can do. Oh. O.O

I am happy to have someone else to talk to. Having asthma is difficult, scary sometimes. I am glad we are friends. I agree with you asbout wishing I had known about the site a long time ago! I will talk to you later. ye
