What To Do Have a complete checkup to find out what other health problems you may have that could affect or be affected by your asthma. For example, asthma can affect heart disease.
Theophylline can make high blood pressure worse.
Discuss with your doctor the medicines you take for asthma and make sure they will not affect other health problems. Make regular visits to your doctor to check your asthma and any other health problems you may have. Discuss with your doctor any symptoms that you may have even if you don't think they are related to asthma. Report any physical problems you may have that might make it hard for you to take your asthma medicine. If you have hearing problems and don't hear or understand the doctor or nurse, be sure to ask them to speak up.
