Onset Asthma

I'm a 67-year-old male, and I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with COPD onset asthma. I am currently on Flixotide inhaler plus Ultibro, Unfortunately, my house where I live is a damp area with plenty of mold. Been trying to sell my house but no luck at the moment, so I think my breathing is getting worse.

Has anyone noticed getting body jerks similar to electric shocks? I seem to get them every day when about to go to sleep or relaxing? Also have put weight on abdomen since starting corticosteroid Flixotide. Winter is here now and seems to make me short of breath. Any information is greatly appreciated.
