Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments back history I’m 21 had asthma as a little kid been smoking weed heavly for a year and half but. 2 years of total smoking. I had smokers cough and on and off sore throat since July but it goes away after a couple of days got Covid a week later after being negative if you seen my last post I was having big problems with my throat irritation/soreness , globis and swallowing( this week my throat almost feels completely normal) just feels a little inflamed everything else went away, I still can’t eat or drink as much I use to) here’s the problem ever since my throat got better my breathing got worse, cough came back it feels more heavier I’m waking up feeling completely clogged( inflamed/ tight throat and chest) bad nose congestion( stuffed in runny, nothing really comes out except clear sometimes bubbly mucas I think it is, constant throat clearing I have a peak flow and it’s usually 540to 560 or when I feel bad it’s around 460 to 500 but when I wake up it goes all the way to 320 to 366 was the highest I believe. Most doctors haven’t been really helpful and my pulmonologist appointment is so far away. I went to urgent care yesterday and they gave me amoxicillin and it cleared up my nose it’s usually only in the mornings and I woke up with no nose problems today I was also given Flovent and it felt way worse raspy voice I started wheezing chest tightness and I used my peak flow and it dropped my score to 324 I believe, my mom told me to use it with the spacer maybe that’s why and it made me worse felt so week almost like I was dying I went to tue emergancy and they just gave me my second 5 day prednisone so far I feel somewhat better didint have runny nose no chest tightness so far and didint wake up feeling breathless, to be fair tho I only slept for an hour becuee I took tue medicine at night and kept me up till my morning shift at 5:30 am, I’m scared that the same thing will happen when I get offf prednisone 2 days off it and I started waking up wheezing, my inhaler is barly working and my nebulozer only helps open up my air ways up a bit, if a steroid inhaler made me worse is there any alternative? The longer they symptoms last the more stressed I feel no support from all docotors or freinds and I’m months away from my pulmonologist appointment
