What to do if i have asma and in the past three years i have gotten a few xrays.?

Depends: Were the X-rays because your asthma is uncontrolled? If so then you need to see an asthma specialist for better treatment. If they were during times when you were sick and you are worried about radiation exposure, you are probably ok. Please clarify what you really want to know

See allergist: Chest x-ray is usually not indicated for asthma diagnosis or treatment. Excessive exposure to radiation may be harmful to you and in your case likely unnecessary. I urge you to consult an allergist in your area.
