Im 15 years old and i weigh about 150 pounds. I do have asthma and vocal cord dissfyunction. Im currently taking singular, advair, zyrtec, xopenex, veramyst. My usual asthma symtoms are shortness of breath and coughing. Over the summer i was sent to the hosptial during a severe asthma attack. Now about 3 months later, i have never been back to normal. My medicine is not really working and or causing the problem. When ever i play basketball or exercise it feels like my throat is closing and i have sever chest pain that is my entire chest sometimes into my shoulders and my whole diaphram. No doctors know whats happening. What should i do?
Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms indicate that you have poor asthma control. If I were the treating physician, I would first check the diagnosis by objective test(spirometry), check inhaler technique, triggers and Chat Doctor.

Since this is a prescription medicine, so my advice is
