Asthma

Okay so on monday I was at work and on window (i work in a fast food place) and i was taking someones order and they were basically speaking to me through their smoke. Due to inhaling the smoke I had a major asthma attack, couldn't breathe, tight chest, dizziness. I used a puffer and it worked, but still had stiffness/soreness when breathing.
Its now thursday and if anything its gotten worse and I'm utterly exhausted, i pretty much passed out yesterday when i got home and today there hasn't been much change, what should i do? I know its not normal.

Help? The tightness has gotten worse, its only when I breathe in..The puffer only helps for about an hour and then nothing. Ugh hate it..

Go and see your dr or get to the nearest hospital. They'll give you a nebulizer to help ease the tightness and any follow up medication. I had this before too.

I hope something helps! x

As your gps is shut now, i would recomend going to a&e if you still have tightness. They can give you better medication to control it.

Thanks for the help anyway guys, i went to hosp. It was along with exhaustion and migranes that the attack was so bad. I was kept in overnight for monitoring. I'm okay now.
Could this thread be locked so its not a hassle anymore?

Locked at request of the thread starter.

In the future if you have an asthma attack and your inhaler doesn't aid it then you need to go and get checked out straight away; leaving it for some time can cause lasting damage to your body and that's widespread, not just to your airways.
