Question

I've been dealing with chronic asthma for about 20 years now, and for the past decade, formonide 200 Novocart has been my go-to medication. Lately, I've been having trouble finding it in stores. Could you recommend an equivalent medicine I could switch to? I'm really concerned about managing my symptoms effectively.

What is the actual test to determine if I have asthma? I've done a spirometry test, and it was normal. I also completed a six-minute walking test, and my oxygen saturation was 98%. Can you help me understand if these results rule out asthma or if there are other tests I should consider?

I'm dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis and recently did a reverse spirometry test. My FEV1FVC came out to be 81 and my FEV1 was 71. After using a bronchodilator inhaler, there was no change in these values. Should I be worried? Especially since my chest X-ray and blood tests turned out normal?
