Difficult to answer: Of course getting a rescue inhaler is very important. In the meanwhile, if you know your triggers, try to minimize your exposure. At this time of year, cold air is a common trigger so stay indoors if possible but do get to your physician as soon as possible. Good luck.

Better planning: Asthma is a lifelong condition with periods of less/more events. Knowing your condition and keeping up with it is basic to avoiding costly ER visits. If you have at least a primary care doc that follows you, call and get a refill.If you haven't maintained at least that level of care, go to an urgent care center.This site does not provide direct diagnosis & treatment for anyone.
