A member asked:
If i got a lung transplant would i still have asthma?

Possible: If you have a lung transplant, you need to be under the close supervision of a physician since symptoms could indicate rejection or an infection that needs to be treated promptly.

Depends: You will receive immunosuppressant/anti-rejection drugs if you get a lung transplant, and those usually treat asthma, so probably not; but you will have a lot bigger problem in your lap. A transplant is a serious medical condition by itself.
