I have been battling asthma and allergies for over 18 years. The asthma has really made it tough to exercise or do much labor intensive work. I have been to several asthma doctors, and have tried several medications. I have had two medicines that really work, Singulair and Maxair, but the side effects were too strong for me, and the medicines are quite expensive. So I am currently not on them. I wish there were some herbal supplements that would work for asthma. There are so many herbal supplements now in vitamin stores, but not sure which ones work. As for now, there is not a cure for asthma. I personally think the allergies are the main culprits that triggers my asmtha attacks, so I am on allergy medicine Clarinex, and it does help a lot. Maybe your doctor could prescribe Clarinex to you. I always try and stay away from allergies, and I do better.
