I do not understand what is causing them, i take my preventative medicine every day and strangely one night i am fine the next i am up through out the night to take my emegancy inhaler, which makes my heart go too fast and i cant sleep. It does not feel like the asthma attacks i had when i was young. I had 3 chest infections last year and the last one only cleared up 3 weeks ago, i cough up contantly and my chest weezes. When i go to the doc though i get told just to take my emergancy inhaler. Today i woke up breathless in a coughing fit and i felt as thou water was in my lungs, i then took a terrible attack, i look white and feel faint and couldnt get enough air to take my inhaler, i am worried i will have another attack, they are worse when i try to lie down or after i eat. The health services seem to just want rid of me, they wont give me a lung scan, just fill me up with steriods. I am off work again, i really cant live like this....i feel very congested and sore
