I spent hours in the ER yesterday waiting to be seen by a doctor because of my asthma. I had a normal chest x-ray. The ER doctor called the pulmonologist that I'm going to see July 2nd. I was put on a steroid inhaler. So now I have three inhalers. My prednisone was increased back up to 50mg for a week then taper down 5mg once a week. Still having a lot of trouble with congestion, shortness of breath and chest tightness. I'm hoarse very often.
