@sueinmn - This sounds just like me. I have had bronchitis so many times, and each time I get a cold the symptoms go straight to my chest. I had pneumonia earlier this year and was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma. It's so crazy because I've been managing the treatment of my younger daughter's asthma for years, and it never occurred to me that I might have it! Question for you Sue - when you get sick, do you go straight to your pulmonologist or go through primary for treatment? I felt like I got the runaround with primary care the last time with my pneumonia and they didn't recognize the severity right away.
