Asthma in adults
I been having trouble breathing ever since my 12 month old was 5 months old I went to have a breathing test done yesterday and today they told me I have asthma. 30 years old and have asthma. They have me an inhaler that I take in the morning and night then another one as needed. I have a 7,4and 1 year old. I go back in 6 weeks for a follow up. But I know nothing about asthma. I don't smoke dh does I already told him he isn't smoking around me anymore lol. I have a 7 year old black lab/shepeard mix than I have a cat as well she is about 10 or so years old. Do I have to dust daily? I have so much stuff if I have to do it daily I will be cleaning 24/7 lol

I also first got asthma at 30. I was pregnant, but I never had it before. (I had a cat for 5 years at that point) I was on a daily inhaler, but once my cat died, 10 years later, my asthma doesn't bother me anymore, only when I'm around cats.Found an answer to your question?

I've had asthma for most of my life. It definitely got worse when I acquired cats and dogs, and oddly it's worse with dogs rather than the cats. I take a daily dose of Symbicort and life is usually pretty good. I have 3 kiddos and I can do pretty much anything I want activity wise.
The only time I have real problems is when I let the cleaning get away from me. I dust 2-3 times a week and sweep daily (no carpets, which helps a lot.)Or if I get a cold. Last year I had a slight cold which turned into pneumonia because no one helped with the dusting and sweeping.Found an answer to your question?

My asthma has actually gotten worse as I have gotten older. I remember, though, that my grandma was the same way, eventually developing CHF. I take it seriously. I am on Singulair which seems to really help me.Found an answer to your question?

I've had it since I was little...I think it depends on the person how vigilant you will have to be with cleaning and whatnot- I mean obviously, you don't want the house full of dog hair and dust...but you don't necessarily have to clean every single day either
stay away from freshly cut grass- at least that's what I was told - weeds and cats kill me-but I think it's more allergies than actual athsma- since I was fine with cats growing up...but as an adult I can't deal with being around them for long.
if you take your meds-you should be ok. I have been on advair for like 9 yrs or so- and had almost no issues at all since I was put on it
