Uncontrolled asthma: Your asthma is uncontrolled. By saying nebulizer, i suppose you mean albuterol nebulizer. It is called rescue inhaler and is used to temporarily relieve symptoms. It means that the main treatment, the controller asthma medication is underdosed. A specialist in allergy immunology or pulminology can help find a way to control your asthma. Go to the er if shortness of breath is severe.

Asthma: Asthma is an inflammatory lung condition which is treated with various types of medications. When symptoms are occasional beta agonist inhaler helps( for example albutetol inhalers and nebulizer), but when symptoms are very frequent then other meds are needed like for example inhaled steroids. If having persistent symptoms and significant trouble breathing go to ed as soon as possible.
