I researched the problem myself, if I hadn't done so I would still be on inhalers every night, with the dusty mattress and the chest infection!
The doctor prescribed asthma inhalers, despite the fact that I insisted that it was an infection, as it was a localised wheeze and obstruction and not in the whole lung. I mentioned that it was much worse at night, but I was told that this is normal with asthma, so I didn't get any advice about anti-dust mite bedding. The inhaler made the problem worse - the more I used it, the more I needed to use it.
I agree that bleeding a radiator is an essential skill! The worst that can happen is that it starts spouting grey water - messy, but better than the outcome of my cautionary tale!
