Asthma Troubles.

I think I might die of an asthma attack! I have allergy induced asthma. I have been seeing doctors for it a lot lately, but I don't have another appointment for six weeks! Today I have had trouble breathing. I can't walk too far. Wheezing and coughing also some mucus. I am on some asthma medication (singular which I started taking two days ago, and Flovent which I started taking a couple of weeks ago)...I have school tomorrow and I don't want to get there and have an asthma attack from all the walking around and gym class...plus I have taken my emergency inhaler FOUR times today and took one Albuetoral treatment...hardly any results. What should I do? Am I having an attack?

Advice:

It sounds from your description that there is a degree of panic going on with your symptoms. However, if your breathing is bad, you should seek further advice from your doctor concerning this. Without examining you, I can’t really offer you anymore help in this situation. Good luck.
