Constant Wheezing and Asthma.
I have seasonal allergies and asthma. The asthma is usually triggered by allergies. I have currently been feeling some symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness when inhaling. I haven't had any coughing. At, first i started taking methylprednisolone 4 mg. Taking the pill form of prednisolone helped the wheezing ease down but it just came back a couple days ago. I have used a rescue inhaler which worked for a while but the effects wore off in hour. I used a nebulizer at home with albuterol sulfate solution. It had the same effect as the inhaler. Last night I started taking the prednisolone again because I have previously stopped taking them. I just need to know if I'm experiencing anything life threatening.
