Coughing!

Hi, on my 40th birthday I was diagnosed with asthma! I have the cough varient which is kept under control by ventolin and qvar sprays! I want to know what might trigger the coughs and will I ever have a day with no coughing?

I presume you're only recently disgnosed? I'm also mainly cough variant and controlled by Qvar and my reliever is Airomir

In the early days you really need to learn what your triggers are so that you can avoid / control your exposure to them.

i'm very much exercise-induced but also triggered by colds / smoke etc

If you know your triggers and you know you have to be exposed to them sometimes taking your reliever beforehand can help (as is recommended before exercise)

Once you are fully controlled you should be able to have cough-free days i can go ages feeling really well (except when i go running)

By the way - welcome to the forum
