Hello,

I have been asthmatic since the age of about 14 years old and recently within the last 2 years my asthma has gotten increasingly worse instead of better. I also have obstructive sleep apnea for which I wear a cpap machine and start on oxygen this week. I am currently using a rescue inhaler, a nebulizer with two different types of medications, on two different allergy pills, as well as spirivia and symbicort inhaler. My doctors have told me that this was the maximum I could go as far as medications, but I am still having problems with my asthma. Recently I also found out that I had allergies to cats/dogs, dwarf ragweed, and dust mites. I look forward to meeting and talking with everyone and am open to any suggestions, advice, and information anyone might have. Thanks.

In view of the asthma symptoms you are still experiencing, I would suggest that you ask your GP to refer you to an asthma specialist.
