Hi Lisa, my symptoms returned even with the inhaler, so she put me on a higher dose, and then it actually made my symptoms worse (or it was a coincidence - who knows?) But that got me very concerned that something else was going on. (I have health anxiety, so this is what happens.) I went back and she showed me the results of my PFT and why the numbers supported the asthma diagnosis and NOT anything else (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, etc.). I'm going to do a methacholine challenge on Monday, and that might definitively confirm the diagnosis, or it might not, which would just mean that I have "cough variant" asthma or something. She told me that reactive airway disease is usually more of a short-term reaction to something specific. I don't get notifications about these posts, so I'm just seeing this now.
