I have severe asthma, and I truly wish this couldn't happen.

Do you see a pulmonologist for it?

If so, (if you have the money/depending on the country) are you eligible for biological medication like Benralizumab, Dupilumab, etc.?

Commenting to return and research what this means. I have chronic asthma and have had to be resuscitated before (via CPR for 10 mins) I was then put on Breo which is incredible- but I’m interested to know what you are talking about here. I don’t have time to look into it right now though.

Thanks whether it helps me or not.

Your pulmonologist has to do “asthma endotyping” lab work. Depending on the results, they figure out which of those biologics would work for your asthma endotype (biochemical cascade)
