Yes, or your doctor if the office is open.
Good evening. Asthma can become serious quickly. An ER check can be life saving. If you are equipped at home: use albuterol every four hours. Use nebulizer mist if you have it. But get checked quickly.

My response was included before forwarding to this post. The short answer of course is yes. I listed some of the many problems which require treatment aside from bronchodilators and see rights for example.
Discuss with your primary care provider.
