Hello everyone! I learned I had asthma when I was 44. It was because of nighttime coughing that I went to see my daughter’s allergy /asthma specialist. I was getting pneumonia frequently and once I knew I had asthma, I always get vaccinated flu, Co-Vid, RSV and pneumonia. That keeps me fairly healthy, although I sometimes still get pneumonia.
@pjk69 - glad to hear you got a diagnosis and that the vaccinations you're getting are helpful. Wondering if you are being treated with medications on a regular basis for your asthma? If so, what medications did your doctor prescribe?
