What To Do If I Am Having Sudden Shortness Of Breath, Dizziness After Being Diagnosed With Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis?
I have asthma and chronic bronchitis. Today I am having sudden waves of shortness of breath and some dizzyness. I am already 3 days into a predisone burst. Should this be something I should get checked out right away, or could it wait until Monday?
