This year i've been suffering very badly with my asthma, Ive been to casualty SIX times and its really getting me down now. The last time i went which was a week ago none of the drugs theygave me werent working, i tried salbutamol and atrovent nebs, then 2 injections of hydrocortisone then and injection of prednisolone then an introveneous drug and i was getting worse and worse and extremely tired. Thye eventually called the anaethetist down and he and his team took me to intensive care.. i was getting very energyless and very panicky as i really couldnt breathe.. they told me they were going to try one last drug (introveneous magnesium sulphate) or put me on a ventilator! Thank God the magnesium worked! I was in ITU for two days and nights on CPAP and i improved, i was then sent to a cardiac ward and was monitored for three furthur days. I'm sixteen and female and i found this so so so scary and its never been so bad that nothing has worked and ive never been in ITU (that was the scariest bit) let alone on non invasive ventilation! I'm petrified its going to happen again! Doees anyone have any suggestions why it was os bad or why ive been havinga cough for 4 months and shooting paisn all ove rmy chest?
