The inhaler would work IF (and only IF) it was a true asthma attack. If this is cardiac related, then it would not help your symptoms. I agree with you that it would be a big coincidence that allergies would cause this sudden symptom.

Did she do any breathing tests in the office? Or did she order a full set of PFT's with your x-ray next week?

Can you 'make' your symptoms appear by exerting yourself? If so then you need to tell her this and demonstrate this in the office so she can see it happen. Take her to the stairwell if necessary.
She just said we would do pulmonary testing and that it would take about an hour. She said she is not concerned about anything with my heart.
I told her if she let me walk two circles around the office I could show her exactly what was happening and she said it wouldn't be necessary. I asked if during the pulmonary testing if there would e an exertional part to determine what is happening and she said no. Ill get the testing and the X-ray and see if I need to go to another practice for a second opinion.

I took a zyrtec last night as recommended by the doctor just as an experiment. The nurse said it might make me drowsy- so I thought that was only a plus since I don't fall asleep easily anymore. It did clear my sinuses up a bit, but did not make me tired at all. This morning I am still sneezing like crazy and coughing. My breathing has a bit of stridor- so the zyrtec probably wasn't worth it.

The only other thing that I can think of is that I have seasonal allergies plus some possible bronchial infection??
It would just be odd that the bronchitis chest symptoms would precede the rhinovirus type of symptoms which came 2 weeks later. Hoping this is the case though.
My littlest one had a coughing fit last night for about an hour and had a raspy voice yesterday, so just maybe this is some infection thing?? Hope
