A member asked:
I took an albuterol breathing treatment about 20 mins ago and now i'm more short of breath could it be that i just broke up more congestion?

Asthma exacerbation: If you just received a treatment 20 mins ago, now you are more short of breath, you are likely having an acute asthma attack. Advise you to call your doctor or go to urgent care for proper treatment.
