Blue inhalers help but no asthma etc? Please help?

Hello, I hope you can hope me, still searching for answers!

I was told by my physiotherapist (and a chemist former surgeon) that Ventolin helps people without asthma by relaxing the chest. She noted I never have a cough, wheeze or mucus so she was suspicious of my asthma diagnosis, but we cannot deny my tight chest and throat and how I seem to struggle to breath both in and out. We know for a fact Vocal Chord Dysfunction is not to blame and thar blue inhalers most certainly help.

Is her theory about non asthmatics benefiting from rescue inhalers true? I hope it is as I am terrified of having asthma due to phobia of chronic illness.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

If you have something which causes your airways to narrow the ventolin probably will help. Its best know for asthmatics but can work for other lung conditions too.
