Im 34, I had been a smoker for about ten years then quit four and a half years ago. I has bronchitis as a kid a lot but as an adult not very many problems. I started working as a furniture finisher three years ago and almost a year into it i started having symptoms of asthma. My partner has been diagnosed with asthma and had an inhaler so I started using it once in awhile when I needed it and it has always worked great. I dont have insurance so I have never seen a doctor about it since the inhaler has worked for me. Last night I had a attack and used a breathing machine and my breathing is fine however my chest and upper back are really hurting this morning. I just wondered if this is normal after an attack? I know that I need to see a doctor and will.
