Suggest Treatment For Persistent Shortness Of Breath

Kind regards XXXXXXX
Changes in the treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern
The best thing is that you have already checked lungs and heart because sometimes they aggravate asthma if left untreated.
If you were my patient i would do some changes in your treatment based in your history that you are breathlessness continuously
I would recommend you to stop inhalers and to begin the aerosol therapy with steroids and Ventolin combined plus you can add oral steroids too.
This treatment is better to do for up to two weeks and than to return in the inhalers again according to your condition
You will feel better with the above
Please talk with your treating doctor and h/she will advice you further.
I wish you a fast recovery
Feel free to ask me again
Dr.Jolanda

Spiriva + Symbicort in high dose
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Or in your situation we can do a step up in your treatment which means to stop Ventolin and to substitute it with Spiriva in haler (LAMA) and high doses of Symbicort that you have already.
It is a combination approved recently by XXXXXXX 2016 (Global Initiative for Asthma)
Please discuss with your doctor for this
Feel free to ask me again
