Virtual consult: Your asthma is not well controlled. Labs and pulmonary function testing are indicated. Novel targeted therapy is available, depending on the type of asthma that you have. A HEPA filter may be helpful. Avoid allergic triggers and smoke.

I have allergic asthma. I feel really sick (dizziness, tight chest, cough) but I never have a pulse ox below 98 so PCPs don't take it seriously. Do I really need a $1K consult with a pulmonologist?
