Hi. I have asthma am on Augment I'm steroids, voltarol via nebuliser and yet at night I feel I can't breathe. I'm bunged up. Not sleeping. Sitting upright. Exhausted. I went to my doctor yesterday and she used her machine and I felt I got relief but at home I am not getting the same outcomes as with her. I just commenced my prescriptions yesterday. My ribs hurt . I have been hospitalized in the past. My asthma gets worse if I get a cold
