Go to the ER! It's better to be safe than sorry! If you are having trouble breathing like you've stated in your post, and your doctor is out of town go to the ER, and receive treatment. Hope ya feel better. I have a little case of exercise induced asthma, and I have an albuterol inhaler and I take singulair at bedtime to help with my allergies. I always forget to take my albuterol before I go out walking, and I see the effects, so I need to start taking it before I go walking.

You need to go to the ER. Severe cases of asthma which isn't relieved by inhalers, needs immediate medical attention. Let us know how you get on.

People did answer. They told you go to the ER. I remember seeing similar posts like this of yours in the past, and you have been told to go to the ER several times. I recommend you follow that advice. The people on this board are not medical professionals, and even if we were, we couldn't possibly treat you over the internet. If you are indeed having these problems, you need to go to the ER and stop posting here until you know what is going and and have been to the ER.
