Asthma trigger

Prior to devloping asthma like symptoms over 12 months ago I cleaned a considerable amount of mould from my house.

Despite being told it is asthma No inhaler seems to do enough to allow me to exercise - only prednisilone seems to work.

Allergy tests cannot find a trigger despite my IgE being over 300.

Would the tests have checked for fungal infection?

Not possible for us to say what your tests were, only your doctor will know. It is possible you weren't checked for fungal allergy as it isn't as common in asthma as other causes - check with your doctor.

Some find that a mould allergy is at its worst in summer & autumn?
