What to do for really bad asthma?

See a specialist: Most importantly, you should learn what your triggers are and how to avoid them. If you still cannot control your asthma, there are a lot of medicines, combinations of different inhalers usually and you have to find what works for you. You don't want to take Prednisone for a long time. Xolair is an option.

Am presuming: You r already under the care of a physician & that u are already taking medicines for your"bad asthma". I would encourage u to continue taking your bronchodilator& inhaled steroids daily for three months.Do not miss your follow up appts.Of course if u r having chest pain, shortness of breath, chest tightness, grunting, retracting labored breathing, by all means go to er, and follow up w your doctor.
