Why would my asthma worsen so severely in the last 2 months? I live in N Florida- allergy tests show nothing.?

Question

I've had asthma all my life. I'm 26 years old. In the last 2 months, it's gotten much worse. Nothing major has changed and allergy test show nothing. Just 2 months of chest pains - thought I was having a heart attack, even. Hospital visit proved otherwise. Can't hardly breathe. 2 Xrays are clear. Lung function @ 40%...currently sick/lots of mucus/blood...any theories out there as to what would cause acute chest pain an worstening asthma in the last 2 months? Meds: Advair, Xopenex.

*Past Triggers: Stress/Weather (never many allergies - testing yesterday reconfirmed this)
*Mucus is awful at night/in the morning - spots of blood now in mucus (maybe coughing so hard?)
*Bad wheezing (mainly @ night - during the day sounds "clear" to docs)
*Chest pain is a squeezing feeling in center of chest- worse when lying down/on side - no evidence of cardiac issues, and asthma is much worse (2 docs suspect asthma likely a strong tie to chest pain)
*I don't smoke. Nobody in my house smokes.

Answer 2

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.

Answer 4

I would imagine its air quality, such as pollution or pollen etc. A friend of mine is in the same boat you are. She cant breathe and has no source other than shes asthmatic. Be sure to be checked out for a pullmonary embolism. That can be life threating and a possible cause for your lack of lung capacity. Also, my friend has "EE size" breasts. Her doctor told her that a reduction in breast size may help her to breath a little better but is not the SOURCE of her problem. Good luck! I hope you feel better

Spring is notorious for an increase in Allergy/Asthma cases. Weather patterns are changing from cold to hot, flowers are blooming, wind patterns are changing bringing in pollens and dust from other areas. It's very common for conditions to be worse early morning and eveving. Hang in there...and make sure you take your preventative medications religiously.
