Ive always wondered the same thing bout when to use inhaler. I too, was just recently diagnosed with asthma. I get these really bad coughing spells all the time for no reason. They come out of the blue. When i get these bad coughing spells, my chest feels like it is bubbling, and it makes whistling noises when i breathe in and out. I cough and cough, hoping to cough up whatever is bubbling in my chest/lungs where ever the bubbling comes from, and i cough up mucous stuff all the time. My chest feels like it gets tight from all the coughing, and some times its hard to breathe, feels like i gotta put a little bit more effort to breathe harder. Kinda feels like u get the wind knocked outta you. My heart sometimes races as well. I was just wondering when my chest starts to bubble when breathing, is that when i should start using the inhaler??? I never really knew when was the right time to to use the inhaler??? Also too, ever since ive been on the inhaler, i have had trouble sleeping at night, I havent had a good nights sleep in bout a week. Im very exhausted. WIll this pass over soon??? Also, is it possible to have widthdralws from not using the inhaler. I havent had to use it for three days now, and i feel soooo weird. I cant explain it. It almost feels like im sooo weak, and have a mayjor buzz. Is that normal from being off of it for a few days??? OR is that just a side effect???
