HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, there is only best option for the asthmatic patient and to use the bronco dilator at the time of attack, one more thing underlying cause of breathlessness need to be rule out because this could be cardiac asthma (If this is not being investigated ) if this is allergic one then it can be best treated with "Tab Ketotifen once in day after meal" for couple of month, some systemic disease also need to be rule out, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
