Hi I have developed allergic asthma at the age of 25. I never had a history of asthma in the past 24 years & no one from my family ever had this disease. My chest XRay is normal & the Ige count is 380 IU, I have been prescribed a combination of Fluticasone 200mcg & Formoterol 6mcg as I had some problem with Budesonide 200mcg & Formoterol 6mcg(Had Nose blockage & eye irritation after taking budesonide). This steriod + LABA combination is prescribed in powder format ie (Rotocaps). I developed this disease while I was posted at Mysore & than Bangalore for on an assignment & since than this disease dosent seem to go away. I feel taking Montek LC 1/4 tablet gives me the best relief as compared to the above steriods but do feel quite drowsy after this medication though it is just 1/4 of the tablet. One of the doctors suggested me to go for an allergy test as I was a victim of Late Onset Asthma. I wanted to know if an allergy test will help me get rid of this disease. I have been doing breathing exercise & have recently started taking Lemon with hotwater as lemon acts as natural antihistamine.
