What Causes Tickly Chest Cough In Person With Asthma?

Hi, I am a mild asthmatic, my asthma is exercise induced, hay fever induced and cold weather impacts it too. my normal peak flow is 400-450, I am 20 Female and 5'5". I take beclametasone and ventolin. Last night I developed a tickly chesty cough due to staying in a stuffy hotel room and this morning my chest was tight so I took 1 puff of my ventolin. I am quite sensitive to it and it gives me tremors, nervous tension and makes me feel faint and my chest muscles then tighten. My peak flow is normal but now its 9:00pm and I'm still suffering from tickly chesty cough and tight chest. Any advice?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Acute asthmatic attacks present with chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, cough.

Since you are still experiencing chest tightness, it would be best to take at least one other puff of the ventolin.
You may also want to consider increasing your dose of your preventer, if possible, to reduce the chance of recurrent attacks.

I hope this helps
