Asthma and air trapping
My asthma has been pretty unpredictable lately. I was on Advair for over 20 years, and it controlled my asthma really well until it stopped working a couple of years ago. I’m currently trying out different medications to see which one helps me the most.
Lately, I’ve been experiencing a lot of air hunger, so my pulmonologist had me do a breathing test and found that I’m having air trapping.
Does anyone else have this, and did it get better? I’m wondering if I’m screwed and if feeling like I can’t breathe all the time is my new normal. I don’t have any wheezing, just a tight chest, and there are days when I feel out of breath and like my lungs are sore.
Has anyone been able to reverse their air trapping and get better test results?
