worse time for asthma attack!

[Guest guest]

For me the worse time for an asthma attack is when getting up in the

morning. As soon as I step off the bed asthma begins. Next thing I

know is I'm rushing around getting ready for work while gasping for

air. The asthma puffer (ratio-Salbutamol HFA) do clear it up but

often it takes at least 1/2 hour before the couffing stops (It's

like I took too long to take it).

I think it's normal for energy levels to be a little low when

getting out of bed. But for me it's absolutaly exausting! My heart

beats fast as if I'm running up a hill. And all I'm doing is sitting

down trying to bring it under control. I swear if I had a bad heart

I'd be dead by now.

Using Flovent before bedtime helps but not completly.
