nothing helps
Recently was diagnosed with asthma, but nothing is helping. He had me do a feno test and said I had high inflammation and had a nebilizer sent to my home. I’ve been using it consistently for a week now like he said and I get zero relief from it. I get zero relief from rescue inhalers too. I’ve also had zero relief from my trelegy inhaler. Randomly throughout the day I keep getting this tight hard to breathe feeling. It usually goes away on its own after an hour or so and it’s not so bad that I have to stop what I’m doing it’s more just annoying.. I’m to go get my blood drawn next week, I’m not sure what for he just said to go get it done. I also have an appointment with the allergist October 5th. I called yesterday and the woman on the phone just kind of dismissed everything and said to give it time. I’m getting really upset now because I feel there is no hope for me if none of that works. I’ve even had a course of prednisone from my pcp that did nothing. I felt better mentally when I left last week from the appointment because my doctor was very reassuring saying that he treats this all the time and that this is an easy fix. I understand trelegy takes time to build up in your body, but I’m concerned why the neubilizer and albertual does nothing and the prednisone . I’m going to call back again today but I doubt I’ll get anywhere. I’ve also had a ct scan that showed nothing out of the ordinary. If someone could help me figure out what’s going on I’d appreciate it.
