Do i still have asthma if i haven't had symptoms for over 5 years?

U may: Asthma is considered a chronic disease, especially if it continues into adulthood. If u have not had asthma symptoms for 5 yr, u may be entering a quiescent period of asthma, called "remission". U should talk w ur allergist or pulmonologist, they may want to decrease or take u off ur controller medication for a period of time to see. It may come back later in life.

Yes: We never speak of asthma as being "cured." symptoms might come back at any time in life, particularly with heavy exposures to allergens, infections, or stress. Asthma can, however, become quiescent, and might be well controlled with less and less medication over time, but you should be aware that it could still come back; get treated if your symptoms ever worsen.

Probably...: Asthmatics can go for long periods of time, even many years, without any symptoms. However, it is possible to have ongoing airway inflammation without any symptoms. Only decrease your meds under the direction of your doctor. Asthma symptoms can return at any time.
