Occasionally: It really does. Good news: lung docs are able to cure poorly controlled asthma. And there are technology gadgets such as piko-1. You want to have it fixed asap.

YES: Poorly controlled asthma is a chronic disorder of obstruction(copd). You should be on a long acting beta agonit, inhaled steroid and have frequent pulmonary f/u. Other therapy includes xolair, and thermal bronchoscopy.
