"thank you, I will try that.
Also, if it turns out that I have pre-diabetes, does it mean I will most likely end up with diabetes?"
So, my chest pains and shortness of breath turned into an asthma attack. Had to leave work, probably going to the hospital soon.
Having a bit of a hard time without Symbicort (2nd day). Having chest pains and shortness of breath all day is not fun !! Especially on your day off.
Not going so well this morning, I'm having a flare up and it does not want to get better.

Wow, that's quite something. But yes I can relate to getting bad chest infections. I haven't been quite the same since the last one 3 months ago. It can be quite dangerous your know with all the extra mucous blocking the airways on top of that the asthma is kicking and tightening those same airways. Doesn't leave a lot of room for oxygen to go through. My doctor also told me the same thing. The prednisone will really help the airways to relax, you will see over the next week how much better they will feel. As for the pneumonia, that will take some time as you know to clear out of your lungs. You might have something else going on in your airways outside of the asthma. It's unusual to have pneumonia this frequent. Well, do rest up. We will chat sometime again. Let me know how your doing.

Sorry I just went through some of your old posts and you do mention these symptoms. I definately think your GERD is sending your asthma out of control and maybe irritating your larynx....?

quick question. Do you generally get quick relief from your fast acting inhaler, especially during mild attacks, 2 puffs is generally enough to provide relief. I was thinking about your severe attacks, and was reminded of a condition called vocal cord dysfunction. Sometimes this can play a role in some people's breathing issues. Do you get other symptoms in between your attacks? like shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing? I'm just trying to get a clearer picture to help you out with some of your questions in the forum.
