Hello,
As these are the stages of the Asthma you have been facing. The pain in the head is nothing but the tiring effect which usually you get while having less oxygen in the blood. You should monitor your SPo2 levels at regular intervals. Anything below 94% is not going to make you at ease. As you must be aware of the
nebulizer and the inhalers and you should keep that with you whenever you feel
shortness of breath.
I will advise you to take a nebulizer machine at home and the medicine for the nebulizer can be taken from the physician for the home user. Also, an
oxygen saturation machine will be good and 2litre per minute supply will help the lungs to be always ventilated. Doing exercises which help improve the muscles of the respiration will be of benefit to avoid the
bronchial Asthma attacks. Also, having self-assessment of SpO2 levels on a daily basis and also doing a 6-minute walk test will be good to assess the status of the
dyspnea. Using the spirometer to exercise for having good FEV1. This spirometer will help improve the muscles of the respiratory system and allow the bronchial system to be non-spasmodic.
Having a good
Pulmonary rehabilitation Physiotherapist should help you get good help.
In my clinical practice, most bronchial asthma cases have responded well to pulmonary rehabilitation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
