I can totally relate with your desire to feel "normal" again. I too had asthma that was very stable for many years, so stable that half of the time I forgot I had asthma. I caught some sort of virus a couple years ago that was not covid/rsv/flu and my asthma has never returned to baseline. I have shortness of breath, decreased energy, frequent coughing, and chest tightness on and off pretty much daily. Im on all the med categories and sometimes I just feel like im going insane. Allergy testing didnt really help and my pft remains stable. Every time I try a new medication it helps for a while but then the symptoms creep back up. It's very frustrating. I definitely feel for you. Hopefully we will find something that works soon.

@beachlove26 --yes, that's me too-forgot I had asthma. What has set it off again I have no idea. My pft isn't considered normal, but it did improve after a nebulizer treatment of albuterol. It's always in the back of my head if this could be COPD. I was finally better and feeling good, but it's bugging me again. The air quality isn't great and that always bothers me...
