[|Human|] Hi,I am a 54 year old female with adult onset asthma. On August 8th, I returned to work as a preschool teacher, and after 2 hours of teaching I was experiencing shortness of breath, heaviness and tightness in my chest and wheezing. My small airways were blocked quiet a bit. Since then, Ive been on breathing treatments every 4 hours, 7 day steroid pack, singular, zyrtec, and advair. After 11 days, I am still experiencing the very tightness and heaviness in my chest and practically no relief from medicines. I did have an ekg to rule out heart. Could it be anything else? Do you think I should have any other tests? The doctor insists that I am going to get better. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[|AI|]  See if you're having bronchial asthma diagnosed correctly then u will require life long MDI inhaler or rota haler and that will be prescribed by pulmonary physician as a maintenance treatment and not the 7 or 10 days course of steroid or sympathomimetic bronchodilators. I haven't seen any patient who has cured completely from b.asthma from allopathic treatment. See u accept your problem and consult the above doctor rather than going for different tests.
