Brief Answer:
You need to step up your treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query on HCM..

From your description, it is clear that you are suffering from asthma and at present you are having acute exacerbation of asthma. These kinds of acute exacerbations are quite common. What you need to do is step up the treatment. I do hope that the xray chest and CBC is normal and there is no lung infection.

You will have to take a course of oral steroids like prednisolone 40 mgm daily for 5 days. You also need to take a course of antibiotics. Take nebulization with duolin and budecort ant continue using inhalers like combihaler250, deriphyllin, montair lc. Its better to consult your local physician/pulmonologist for correct dosage and duration.

Avoid dust and smoke and very cold temperatures and drink plenty of liquids and take a healthy balanced diet.

This should control your asthma.

Take care.
