I went to bed the other dark with some mild difficulty breathing. I'm an asthmatic (mostly sports and weather induced, or dust), so it wasn't that unusual. When I woke up, I noticed I have a bug bite on my hand, within between 2 knuckles. My asthma has proceeded to be some of the worst it's be yesterday and today. I used my inhaler the maximum dose yesterday, and it didn't touch it, and I've already used it twice today and am still having that tightness surrounded by my chest that accompanies my asthma. The bug bite is still severely swollen and red and itchy. Could they be related?

I have also have acid reflux flare-ups for yesteryear week. I also wondered if that could be related. I know those 2 things can be a sign of heart issues, but I don't feel shaky or strange other than the difficulty breathing and demanding acid reflux. Also, I enjoy chronic stomach problems that are under medication (Protonix).

Any direction and input would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend that you see a doctor soon. Don't consent to your asthma kill you because you didn't want to disrupt your rota to go to the ER, walk-in clinic, or doctor's organization.

If you need to use the maximum dose of your inhaler and things are looking fruitless for today too, please get yourself to the ER immediately. This will mess-up your schedule because you will potential be spending a day or two surrounded by hospital while the steroids they will give you via IV and pills start to work and they try to break your asthma next to a continuous nebulizer of Albuterol. Having a few days of disruption is better than being unmoving.

Asthma kills 300 associates every year in Canada. That's 300 pointless death every year. Regardless of where you are, don't become part of a set of the asthma fatality statistic.
