NO CURE BUT THERE'S A PREVENTION

Asthma aint no joke! having this shortness of breathe, chest and upper back pain was the worst thing a human body can go through! last year i have been hospitalized (twice) because of this Asthma. i can’t even tell them (to the nurse and to my mom) how hard and felt like was going to die real soon. my muscles are getting tense and  back shoulder was up  to back neck and severe pain going  through my breast line. so they put the oxygen into my nasal then back in a few minutes  i was feeling good and more calm. the nurse said that it’s just a normal reaction of the lungs because i am gasping for more air, that was too close to death hahahaha but im still here alive and i know it  might happen again anytime soon, and now im always ready.
My doctor told me that THIS DISEASE IS NOT CONTAGIOUSit DEPENDS with your body resistance and immune system.
he recommends me to have an inhaler with me every time i go outside. but i prefer to use nebulizer ha-ha. he also instructed me to  take my medication -Monetelukast Sodium 10mg a day & methylprednisolone (medrol) for good prevention and maintenance.
