Not sure...

BelieveInHorizons profile image

I was diagnosed with asthma as a baby after suffering a severe attack and ending up in hospital. However, I have never had an attack since and although I have oral steroids I have not used them for well over a year. I am inclined to think that I do not have asthma and that something else caused my reaction. Is anyone else going through something similar?

It's very hard to say really, but be aware that asthma can be latent in people (non-scientific term!!) & then suddenly be triggered.

However if you are leading a normal life, having no symptoms without any medication then probably all is well.

Just be aware though that you might get something trigger it again in later life & make sure if that does happen that you get attention quickly.

I have allergic asthma and it is definitely worse at certain times of the year when the pollen is high. Also I cannot be in the house when my husband is painting as this can set my asthma off. There are many different types of asthma but I believe some children can grow out of asthma - so I am told.
