Comment:
I have been wheezing and short of breath for years. I have tried many asthma medicines. My doctor sent me to Mass General to see a specialist. She didn't know what else to do for me. The specialist prescribed symbicort and in one dose I felt the relief. It has been 4 days and not a wheeze and I can breath normally. Which is very rare for me.

I moved into a new apartment w/ mold infestation and then my boyfriend got a cat. I was having to use my rescue inhaler nightly and became a walking wheezing mess. Almost immediately after I started this medicene the wheezing left and I've only had to use my rescue inhaler twice in the last month.
