What can happen with your lungs if you have asthma, but don't take medicines (cortison or broncodilator) for several years? ct is normal.

Asthma: The inflammation in your airways goes unchecked, thereby narrowing your airways and making gradually hard to breathe. You lose lung function and may end up walking around with an oxygen tank and unfortunately may die early.
