Hi everyone
Basically I had asthma as a child till I was around 8 years old or something ,
I have had a chest infection recently , which always leaves me with a cough and a feeling I can't breath.
I spoke to my gp and she said it sounded fine but gave me steroids to be extra carefull, which I took but I finished. Along with the anti biotics ,
I feel much better in myself after the anti biotics , but I still have an annoying and painfull cough , when I cough I get tight chested and short of breath and cough up small bits , is this normal with a chest infection ? Without having asthma ?
The problem is I can't tell weather it's asthma or me being anxious or just the chest infection ?! I just had a bad attack of coughing and I felt so right after I took my inhaler and it helped ,
Now I am scared I've got really bad asthma An that I'm going to die of an asthma attack any minuite ! I just don't know if it is asthma or not ,
I'm close to ringing an ambulance just incase !
I'm really frightened :(. Xxx
