I'm dealing with asthma and recently had an asthma attack. I'm using my inhaler twice a day now, but I'm experiencing chest pain, a heavy feeling in my chest, and some breathing issues after using it. Could you give me some advice or suggest any medication that could help with these symptoms?

I'm a 53-year-old male and have been dealing with allergic asthma for quite some time now. I've been relying on Montac LC, which works well for me, but it's become quite expensive, nearly twice the price over the past year. Plus, nasal sprays and inhalers don't seem to help much, especially with the constant skin itching and sneezing. Is there an alternative tablet or medicine you could suggest?
