I honestly was worried about you and feel much better knowing that you saw your doctor. But I'm not letting you off the hook quite that easy. PLEASE do still keep your appointment with the specialist about your asthma. You need to get that under better control so that you don't have any wheezing. You need to be on some medication that will hopefully prevent you from having problems with it in the first place; don't just try to treat it once you are in a little trouble, so to speak. Like WildIrish said, Advair is a good one for that. Also ask about the spirometer. It is a very good way, especially if you have been feeling tight or wheezing slightly, to figure out just how your lungs are doing at that time. They are very inexpensive and worth having around.

Now, come back after that appointment and let us know what that doctor said, too, please. (Sorry, I'm a nurse and a mother so I can't help but be concerned about you. And I want you to always be OK if at all possible.)
