What to do if i dislike taking my medicine for my asthma even though its a matter of life and death for me?

Very common problem: You are not alone in this. Many asthmatics dislike taking their meds. However, as you say, it very well may be a matter of life or death. Keep in mind that the inhaled drugs you use are the cornerstone to your treatment. Their minimal absorption into your blood stream make them a very good choice since adverse reactions are reduced. Good Luck.

With COVID 19 they talk about underlying disease and co morbities as increased risk factors in death. If you have hypertension that is controlled to normal w/medication and asthma that is controlled w/rare symptoms is this still elevated risk? Thanks
