How to cure continuous wheezing and breathlessness with fatigue for an asthma patient?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See a doctor: Asthma can be managed effectively. You will most likely need various inhalers and possibly more. A lung function test is critical for accurate assessment of your condition. See a doctor right away. Allergists and Pulmonologists specialize in this condition.

Better therapy: With continued wheezing and shortness of breath your asthma is being poorly managed. You need to see an asthma specialist (Allergist or Pulmonologist) for further workup and evaluation. Often more aggressive controller therapy is indicated including inhaled corticosteroids or combination medications. Also addressing asthma triggers is important.
