@drsharon, I agree about the progress. Since I started using the Symbicort inhaler, I'm now sleeping through the night. In the past, I've had sleep studies because I wasn't breathing during sleep. The sleep studies did not show sleep apnea. Must have been from undiagnosed asthma.

Has anyone else had the feeling that there is not enough air? In the summer, I'm always turning the A/C lower, and it's not because I'm hot; I don't feel there is enough air. Such strange problems!

@hopeful33250 one possible thought- when I was first evaluated for asthma my spirometry test showed my breathing was 103% of normal so they couldn’t understand why I kept telling them I felt I wasn’t getting enough air. After a lot of treatments my test results went to 150% of “normal “. They now call me a super breather or outlier. I still have pretty nasty asthma but my readings are different from most. Yours may be as well.
