Chronic asthma: You need to see a doctor who is well versed in treating asthma, as this is a chronic condition that will get worse if you are not treated correctly.

Drug addiction: You need treatment for drug addiction. If your asthma is not under control, there are other safer ; more effective medications. Ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) ; theophylline are dangerous unless used under a physician's supervision. They can cause convulsions ; heart arrhythmias. Please do not delay seeking help for your addiction.
