My 8 year old twins and husband have asthma. My advice is to see a pulmonologist which is a doctor that specializes in lung diseases. At the very least you should see an asthma specialist. We have gone through several different medications to stabilize one of my twins' asthma. The heat can make it especially difficult to breath when you have asthma and staying indoors with air conditioning can help alot. I hope you can get another opinion from a specialist and start breathing better soon.
