Hi. I have asthma am on Augment I'm steroids, voltarol via nebuliser and yet at night I feel I can't breathe. I'm bunged up. Not sleeping. Sitting upright. Exhausted. I went to my doctor yesterday and she used her machine and I felt I got relief but at home I am not getting the same outcomes as with her. I just commenced my prescriptions yesterday. My ribs hurt . I have been hospitalized in the past. My asthma gets worse if I get a cold

mostly these types of asthma which is not controllable with the asthma medicine are allergies
in my opinion if you get allergy tests after controlling this and avoid food allergens and treat the envitonmental allergens by sublingual immunotherapy this may help you in m opinion
