See your doc for an exam and have your meds adjusted or having tests if felt necessary. If you indeed have asthma and chronic lung disease you should be established with a pulmonary specialist who would be your best reference at this point.

A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Your asthma is not well controlled. Discuss GINA guidelines, allergy testing and avoid common triggers and smoking. You may upload test results during the virtual consult. Peak flow monitoring at home may be helpful.
