I am new to Asthma

Still  learning  how  to  lookout  for  my  triggers  and  could  use  some  help

I have found cigarette smoke, pet dander and nose congestion is trouble because it goes into your lungs and causes breathing issues. If you can control that also

Smoking and ragweed both bothered me

I'm new to this too.

Well I have been through it all, took allergy test and stress test and breathing test,  I took shots for awhile but I stayed too sick to keep taking them,  I take inhalers and breathing treatments and I have took all kinds of antibiotics but they only work so long.  I live on steroids too.

Steroids are nasty stuff. It can cause weight gain, jitters and I hate it when I have to take it. Usually Prednisone. They usually put you on a steady decline of steroids so you don't have adverse symptoms. You should never go cold turkey. I know Prednisone can also cause ED in men. Weigh your options before consenting to taking a steroid. Puffy face, dry mouuth.
