I had that problem till I joined the childhood asthma study that Johns Hopkins was doing. For some reason weekly meetings with two doctors who basically were only dealing with asthma improved how they were treating me… Then later as an adult one doctor tried to scare me into always carrying my inhailer on me cause I might have a major problem, but I ignored them as even the worst asthma attack I’ve ever had was just really annoying and I hardly ever needed the medicine so why always carry it?
What types of breathing tests? No methacholine challenge? Those are fun as its a ramp test where your breathing gets worse in a controlled way. Though they tend to end the test before it really gets challenging to breath
When I had it done they went to 30% reduction. Then because my numbers didn’t start out well I got a lung volume test which is basically sitting in a well insulated sound booth doing weird breathing moves into a tube to measure your lungs. Mine were smaller for my height which explained my numbers.
Though why would they need to test? Do they not trust you have breathing issues?
