Once you have asthma, you always have asthma. It is possible to go through a period of time without symptoms, but it is also possible that the symptoms may return at any point in time. Not everyone with asthma wheezes. Some people have chest tightness, shortness of breath, or coughing. With asthma there is swelling along with tightness in the airways of the lungs. Albuterol works on the tightness, but does nothing for the swelling. You may need an inhaled anti-inflammatory medicine that will work on the swelling before you will start to feel better.
thank you very much i will tell my doctor right away
You may also want to ask your regular doctor, and your asthma doctor to refer you to an ENT (ear nose & throat doctor), to see if you might have any vocal cord problems, like VCD (Vocal Cord Dysfunction), in addition to asthma, etc.

thank you i never thought of that i will let my doctor know and have the test done
I have had that same problem for years now..it is off and on.
I have found that stress is related. I have actually had to sit up and lean forward, ect; the same way. Try doing some breathing exercizes..put your hand on your stomach and breathe slowly thru your nose until full breath..then exhale through your mouth slowly.. (your will get optimal breahting this way) .
After a few of these, you will get a good deep refreshing breath.
I have also found that cutting sugar helps too..
Good luck, Deb Lyn
