The not being able to breathe is the thing. I've been spending about the last 2 months struggling to breathe, wheezing, not getting enough air, not being able to sleep through the night, waking up every morning feeling like death and wanting to cough my lungs out, then going to bed the same way. Even with the two puffers (one 4 times a day, the other 2 times a day), it's still not perfect, as I'm still having issues with it. I've been having episodes like this for about 7 or 8 years now, where I'd get this issue for a few weeks or months, then it'd go away, only to come back again later. This is just the first time a doctor has actually taken me seriously about it and finally helped, at least a little.
