I started to have severe asthma attacks that prevented me from sleeping.As soon as i nodded off, the attack woke me up gasping for air in a violent manner.This is repeated throughout the night.After seeing my doctor, he confirmed that i have developed asthma and prescribed medication and inhaler.I have been using them since then, but sometimes it does not work.I just learned recently that philips respironics has had a recall of the bi-level pap machine that i have been using for years.From their recall letter, they advised that i can registered for adverse reaction at this fda site.My primary doctor just passed away in (b)(6) 2021.I cannot recall or get information about any lab test shortly after the first asthma incident in (b)(6) 2018.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
