I am going back on Advair and Singular as my Dr. suggested. I have never had a real asthma attack, just the tightness in the chest, in Spring time I cough until I get on my meds regularly. I don't get chest colds (I am the stuffy nose queen) - never even had bronchitis. My blood test for allergens was negative - chest x ray completely clear too.

Unfortunately my problems started after September 11th - we live just down wind of lower Manhattan, and although I wore a paper mask to pick up my son at school, my Doctor thinks this is what triggered the asthma.

I am going to see how I feel after a week back on Advair and Singular - if I don't see improvement, I will ask about a specialist. What kind of a specialist do you recommend?
