If I understand correctly you are looking for better symptomatic care.

You should consider (if there is no contraindications) discussing with your physicians the possibility of ventolin or ephedrine. You may also consider trying food supplements which can improve muscle energy production (such as those being used by athletes to improve their performance-coenzyme Q10, carnitine etc.).
