smoked with chronic asthma now feeling terrible

hi,
I have had chronic asthma since I was 3 months old. Over the last couple of weeks my asthma has been a little rocky, probably due to allergies. On the weekend, I was out with some friends and took a few puffs from a cigar we were sharing, but didn't really inhale any of it. Since then my chest has been super tight and I've been coughing badly, and my ventolin and symbicort don't seem to be helping. Will this heal in time, or do I need to go to the hospital?

hey i'm sorry to hear about your asthma problem, i too had asthma as a new born up until the age of sixteen. when i was 16 was the first time i had tried marijuana. I was scared that my lungs would close but they didn't  when i used it.I haven't had any asthma since then and i believe that marijuana is the cure to asthma because THC the active ingredient in marijuana is a natural bronchial dialator,and it works better then in haler because the bronchioles are totally relaxed and allows you to breath in a lot of oxygen.plus marijuana isn't bad for you, well smoking it could cause damage to your lungs but there are vaporizers, they just give you vapor and its totally healthy. i hope that you get better because i know how panicky it can get when you cant breath.

i hope you give marijuana a try
you can research scientific studies that proves the marijuana can be a use for asthma

I would get a visit with your family doctor, you may need oral steroids to get you through the rough patch.

I hope you feel better since this is an old post!  

And make sure you learn from this experience.  :)
