Suggest Treatment For Severe Asthma
I am a 33 year old female. I have severe asthma. I have been having massive attacks since late December and hospitalized 3 times for exaserpation. I have been to the ER about 5 times, most recently, on Monday, sent by my PCP. I am on a back-up tank of oxygen that my Mom happened to have on hand right now. My nebulizer isn't helping. My chest is burning in my sternum area and I am wheezing. My family can't continue to take time off to take me to the ER and my sister is in labor at a hospital about 30 minutes away. Can you please advise? Thank you!

Dear,
You have severe persistant asthma not responding to nebulization.
well you have not written what drugs you are taking in nebulization. Steroid nebulization(beclomethasone/budecort) if you are not taking , will definately help. You need oral steroids to control your symptoms as well . this is a prescrption drug.
