Asthma Breathing?? Asap.10 points.?I have had asthma for 7 years now, so i pretty much know how to control it. I am on singular, albuterol (inhaler), and albuterol for the nebulizer.
This past Monday and Tuesday I had two awful asthma attacks during the night. I had to stay home from school because I felt extremely weak. Despite the fact I was taking my medicines every 4 hours to keep my asthma under control. Which, clearly was not working.
Yesterday (Tuesday) I went to see the doctor around 5 pm. I told her what I had been doing, but at that time, I was completely clear. She told me to continue doing what I was doing and that I was getting much better. I asked her "What if I have another attacK". Her reply was, keeping using your method and if its not better by Friday give us a call.
Well now its wednesday. And last night I had another awful attack. And it felt even worse. My dad and I tried all the usual stuff and nothing worked. In fact, it felt even worse than the two other attacks.
So we called the emergency nurse line and the nurse told me to use two nebulizer treatments. I did and I was able to fall asleep. But 4 hours later I woke up with another attack.
What should I do? And is it normal to feel so fatigue after them? All i can keep doing is sleeping because i feel so weak.
I would greatly appreciate your answer. 10 points to the best.

Im not trying to troll here this is true... my dad had asthma and he always had and inhaler as he would run out of breath.... he was told to get a chihuahua and they help take it away... he did and after a few weeks its been years since he has had to use an inhaler... if i had not seen this myself no way i would have believed it as im a very skeptical person... but just trust me on this one

Asthma attacks at night can cause a person to feel fatigued because even the slightest disruption to your breathing also disrupts your sleep, so you don't feel rested the next day. Between the attacks, your airflow may have been less than 100% while you were sleeping, and that's all it takes to keep you from entering the deep phase of the sleep cycle.
The fatigue might be from something other than sleep disruption if it doesn't disappear after a normal night of sleep.
One thing to consider is the possibility that you have allergies that are triggering the attacks. You could ask you doc about this. If you haven't been to an allergist, it might be worthwhile to get tested for allergies. An allergist can prepare a custom injection to desensitize you to allergens. In the mean time, if allergies are part of the problem, you could ask the doc if an antihistamine or a short course of prednisone would help.
