yes asthma can definitely become worse. unless properly evaluated and treated asthma can lead to some very serious consequences. i should strongly suggest that you see your medical provider for a proper examination to get on some asthma medications. if you have "something else" your medical provider should be able to make that determination during a careful examination and diagnostic testing.
can asthma get worse? . i've had asthma since i was fairly young and it went away for awhile but has been coming back and it's getting worse and worse. it's painful to breath sometimes and it's always shallow. could it be something other than asthma now?
