Asthma Help?i am a 12 year old boy and have had asthma all my life. Lately, (within the past few days) i've had chest tightness. Other people with asthma will know what i mean. I use my inhaler, and for the most part, it goes away. My uncle passed away recently and i am under ALOT of stress. I'm starting to cough, not the asthma cough, but a regular cough. I know about asthma and everything about it. My question is, is having a tight feeling in my chest normal? I might be getting an asthma "flair" but i just want to know. Can stress cause an asthma "flair" ? I am just curiuos, can somebody help me?
I appreciate everybody's help and would just like to say that i'm going on antibiotics for my asthma. I am also using my inhaler for my asthma and i'm feeling better, thank you
I actually do own a peakflow meter and i will admit, my peakflows are down. However, i did call my doctor, (my mom works at the doctor's office) and that's when he prescribed the antibiotics. They know me and they CERTAINLY know about my asthma, so they will know if it is serious
WOW, i guess i did forget something, I do take Advair and i have for about 3 years. Sorry, another question. My advair doesn't seem to be working so well as it did 3 years ago. How about singulair, does this work better?

Chest tightness is normal in asthma. Stress can also make it worse. If you continue to have tightness and your inhaler doesn't relieve it, you may need to try a new prescription.

Yes stress can cause an asthma flair infact there is a lot of proof that yoga has helped a lot of people control their asthma.
If I were you I would see my doc asap and get this looked into. Maybe consider a medication change, or additions. There are a lot of meds out there now for asthma.

Below is a site about asthma. It does say that stress can trigger asthma, and that tightness in the chest is a common symptom. You should read it, it was very helpful.

Please go to your doctor.... this is the asthma/allergy time of the year... along with of course.. Ragweed season in the fall... for your question YES.. but could also be an infection or just a Flair up... but you know... VERY well what it feels like not to be able to breath... How scary that is... how horrible.. and MANY MANY PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY from ASTHMA.... it is the most common reason to go to the ER ... please tell someone to take you in.. may need a steriod etc... or antibiotic.... VERY IMPORTANT>>> I completely understand with everything going on around you right now you probably dont wanna be the center of attention but YOU NEED TO BREATH... and your family should understand completely..... good luck .. sorry to hear about your loss....
