Where did my asthma go?

Since I was 36 am now 73..have been on asthma medication,nebulizer,inhalers...it's been rough. I have been asthmatic free for 3 months, no meds at all...I went off of everything and I feel fine.Is this normal for real asthma.? I am now seeing a cardiologist for a heart problem that I never knew I had, could problems with the heart (vascular system) mimic asthma?

  1. Hi It is possible that heart problems can mimic asthma, as you can see here (https://asthma.net/clinical/cardiac). However, with controlled asthma, symptoms should be minimal so you feel as though you do not have asthma -- that is normal for good asthma control. This may be a good topic to discuss with your doctor. What do you think? John. community moderator.
