I agree with a previous poster that job # 1 is to connect with your Asthma specialist. If you don't already have one you may need a Nebulizer to alleviate severe attacks. I also suggest you start and keep a log of when you get the attacks, what you were doing and what conditions exist. If the problem only exists at night, or just in the BR, or just with the fan on that can be useful to know and share with your doctor. For some Asthma can come and go and often a change of locale, like a move or a trip can cause flare-ups. Also as previously pointed out a change in chemical exposure can also cause flare-ups. Wash soap, shampoos, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning supplies, etc. Use your flowmeter, keep a log, and consult your doctor before spending money or making changes that often are not the root cause of the problem.
