Answer
Jessica,
It is important that you go back to your doctor so that he can help you find a treatment plan that will be more effective for you. Asthma that continues to get worse like this may become a life threatening problem. Your asthma is clearly not under control and I would strongly recommend that you seek the advice of your doctor to see what would be best for you.
