[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. As you need to take Ventolin (a rescue type of inhaler) almost every day, it suggests that your asthma is not well controlled. So I would agree with your doctor who prescribed you Symbicort inhaler, which is a "preventer" type of inhaler.2. Please make sure that your technique of using inhaler is perfect to ensure adequate deposition of Chat Doctor. 3. As you have asthma since young age, it is a bit worrisome, but not too much, especially your spirometry report is not that bad. Wish cautious measures, life-style changes and patience and careful use of medications, you will be able to live comfortably, in my opinion.4. As an Allergist-Immunologist, I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollen, insect proteins, pet dander, etc. This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.5. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to improve allergy symptoms gradually.6. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.7. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants will also help you to improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively in a longer run. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
