Drained by crippling asthma, exhausted Grey’s Anatomy superstar Ellen Pompeo is set to drop out of the hit medical drama — despite earning a staggering $20 million a year, sources say.

TV’s highest-paid actress has played Dr. Meredith Grey since the show’s 2005 debut but now says, “There is an end — and it’s nearing.”

Sources reveal the 49-year-old has been battling the breath-robbing condition for years, and now, working is such a struggle, she feels she can’t go on.
