I was wondering if my current symptoms sounded like asthma.

First of all I am on a nightly dose of the generic zyrtec.
And I have a pro air inhaler

I just finished a weekly dose of Prednisone. I took the last pill Monday. I haven't yet had to use my inhaler. My triggers appeared to be dry cold air. And exercise induced.

Well all the sudden in the last 20 minutes maybe. I started to feel almost like a little burning sensation in my throat and upper lungs. And I don't have a fully on cough but on and off since this started I feel like I need to clear my throat. I feel like a little heaviness in my lung area.
My throat is really dry. Like even after drinking water its really really dry.
And now I feel a little wheezy. Like I don't hear it really loud. But it feels like its there.

And I can't tell if its getting worse or not. I have no used my inhaler ever. And I am alone. I am not sure if I should use it or not. I don't know if I am having a attack or not. I am thinking about calling the nurse line.

This is so frustrating because I can't tell. Yet I don't feel *right* or good.
 
I guess why this is so confusing is because its not progressive. I don't feel like I am gasping for air. And it doesn't seem to get worse.

Just extreme dry throat that makes me feel like I have to cough.

Is extreme dry throat even after drinking water a symptom for anyone?
 
Trying one puff won't hurt -even if it's not an attack. I'd try it and see if it helps. Maybe you need to move to a daily med.
