Hi,
I had an ashtma attack earlier today whilst at work. I work with kids but was able to get away for a little bit and used my ventolin/salbutamol inhaler for maybe 12 puffs and eventually it calmed down. I was able to work the rest of the day with a bad cough and a sore chest and feeling generally exhausted and rubbish.
I'm home now and still coughing, still with a sore chest and struggling to breathe fully in. I can do it, it's just sporadic full breaths and then I can't for a few more breaths.
I had an ashtma attack last Monday night/Tuesday morning and spoke to my GP the same day as they have advised me before. She was lovely and did a sort of ashtma review and instructed me to double my preventer inhaler dose for a week. I went back to normal yesterday. I've been struggling since then and had to use my reliever inhaler a lot, particularly in the mornings. I had an exercise class last night and missed most of it because of ashtma symptoms.
I know I need to phone my GP for a review as it's getting worse, but I can't call about this ashtma attack until Monday.
Is it worth me calling 111 or out of hours GP to speak to or should I stick it out until Monday and just rest? If I did call 111 what would they do? I don't need emergency care but I do need ashtma advice 
Does anyone have any experience? I've had maybe 5 ashtma attacks since I was diagnosed a few years ago. Thank you so much
