[|Human|] I am asthmatic and take flovent and a rescue inhaler when I exercise. My flovent is usually fine and does the job however, I am noticing I am having a hard time taking a deep breath which also is increasing anxiety. I had a lung function test about 4 months ago and everything was good. can asthma get worse this quickly?
[|AI|]  Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Asthma is unfortunately a disease with a waxing and waning course. You will have good days and bad one, and this can get affected by a number of factors like the amount of dust or pollen you may be exposed to on a particular day. But, I believe that your breathlessness is being brought about more from your anxiety itself. You could try some breathing exercises and calming techniques when you start feeling breathless to rule out anxiety as a cause of the breathlessness
