Asthma 3 months after pneumonia. symptoms of hyperinflated lungs and hyperventilation syndrome. i know i need to see my dr, but what can i do for now?

Asthma uncontrolled: It seems your asthma is not controlled. A pneumonia can trigger asthma symptoms and they can linger for a while. You need an inhaler to help you breathe. I would go seek immediate medical attention if you are having trouble breathing.

Depends how severe: If you're really having trouble breathing, go to the er at once. If you have a doctor already, see if a prescription for an inhaler can be called in to your local pharmacy. But you need to see a doctor to make sure your breathing problem is really asthma or something else, possibly recurrent pneumonia. Hyperventilating isn't necessarily a sign of asthma.
