Ugh, I've been having horrific asthma symptoms for over 2 weeks. I'm on an antibiotic for a sinus infection (which I get chronically and they always make my asthma worse), but it's not working because I'm resistant to all antibiotics from taking them so often for sinusitis. Anyway, I NEVER wheeze, and when I breathe in, deep within my chest there's like a high pitched dog-whistle sounding noise. Is that technically wheezing? For the last three days straight (despite doing my neb every 4-6 hours), I constantly feel like breathing has been extremely laborous. It gets worse when I lay down -- would that indicate mucus in my lungs? Also, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning, and I know that I'll be going on Prednisone (that's what always happens when my symptoms can't be conrolled by inhailed steroids and neb treatments alone). On Friday I'm also scheduled to get steroid shots in my back and neck (for an injury) with an anesthetic as well. Will that interact?
Thank you! :)
