When should I call my doctor regarding asthma attacks?

While my lungs are responding to my recue inhaler, for the past week I have been having a minimum of 3 "episodes" a day. I only have this problem once a year, and don't know if I should go to the doctor to get medication to calm my lungs down.

    My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

    If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

    Asthma is a life-threatening disease. Many laymen do not believe this. DO NOT take this lightly. Don't fool yourself that this only happens once a year. Where do you get your inhalers? They should only be prescribed by a doctor, hopefully a specialist. I've seen people of every age come into E.R., thinking that it's JUST an asthma attack. Many of them do not go home. Get the help you need.

    Go seek medical help immediatley. The increased use of your rescue inhaler is a sign of an impending full-blown asthma attack. Don't wait until it's too late. Asthma attacks can be fatal.
