I was diagnosed w/ asthma about 7-8yrs ago. Just 3wks ago I began coughing & thought it was a cold. I went to my pulmonary Dr. who has treated me since the beginning & NEVER steered me wrong, I was shocked to have her tell me it was my asthma. At times it can become so bad as to make me vomit, we are just beginning treatment for it. We tried changing my inhalers, it is always a long process of trial and error w/ the treatment of asthma. You may want to contact a pulmonary specialist ( or even 2 until you're comfortable w/ one) I would be happy to give you my Dr.'s #, maybe she could give you a referral in your area or at least a better idea where to look - Dr. Sarah Alderman, MD,ACP,FACP,FCCP (she's gooood) 773-205-1209
