anyone have chronic asthama where you have to take an inhailer every day?
I was diagnosed with everyday asthma about 5 months ago. no wheezing, just chest tightness, heavyness upper back pain and tightness and difficulty exercising because I coulnt breath. I dont smoke, and had a perfect peak flow meter and lung function test and tested negative to all allegries. Orginally I thought this was a thyroid thing since i also have hypothyroidism, however I was put on syrabicort to use every day twice a day and now I feel almost completly normal. i can actually do cardio and not colapase with breathing problems.
I was wonding if people who take an inhailer every day need to take it the rest of there lives? and if so are there any side effects. apparently I heard something about the fact that some peoples airways just dont stay open unless they are on the inhailer every day.
thanks
 
Asthma is not, at this time, curable. You will be on some medication for the rest of your life.
