A member asked:
Are chest tightness, tiredness, shortness of breath, and light headedness early, mid, or late asthma attack symptoms?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Does not matter: It is persistent asthma that is uncontrolled and symptomatic. Nightly awakenings are likely also. More importantly, the dose of anti-inflammatory medication must be increased, for example inhaled steroids. To be safe check with your lung doc to make nothing else is going on - although unlikely.
