I’ve had a lot of them so go to your doctor and see what they can do if they can’t do anything go to the hospital

You should call the doctor and ask him to prescribe a rescue inhaler, such as albuterol, to be used in the event of an attack.

You should follow your asthma action plan. Obviously your asthma is worsening you need to step up your therapy. You should be taking a daily controller medication. If you are taking it, you either need to increase the dose or add another dose. You may need oral steroids for a short while. You probably should see an asthma specialist not just a GP.
