How long does fatigue and nausea last after an asthma attack?
Patient: i have had a major asthma attack that almost sent me to the hospital for, but after a 3rd breathing treatment at my pediatrician i started to get better, but now i feel extremely weak, slightly nauseous, and fatigued. How long does this typically last? Should I return to school tomorrow or take a day to rest. Doctor: Hi,sorry to hear about your health. After an asthma attack it is common to get fatigue. This may be because while you were breathless your body had overworked to fight it. Also again asthma and congestion can cause lack of sleep. Yes all this can contribute to fatigue. Do take rest until you feel better. Stay home,eat good food and rest. Allow your body to recover. Take care
