Today i had to go for a spirometry test. I have been asmthatic since i was 23 years old. I have been on different inhalers. I am taking and have been taking salbutomol and quavar for over 20 years. Today the specialist told me i have not got asmtha! What is that all about? Have i damaged my lungs by using inhalers for over 20 years? She also told me i have the start of COPD. I need to know how this could happen and has it happened to anyone else. What are the long term effects of my medication when i never had asmtha to begin with. Ime really confused and worried. Anyone that can explain or have a opinion on this. Thanks
