I was just diagnosed with Reactive Airway Disease, is that the same thing as Asthma? I was in the hospital a month ago with Pneumonia and Asthma. Since then have not really recooperated, I have a horrible cough, rattling or gurling in my chest, shortness of breathe, and though I do cough up some phlegm most of the times, i feel like I have to cough it up and nothing comes out. Is this all part of asthma. I am on Advair, Albuterol, cingular. Nothing seems to work, I was on steroid therapy, it got better, but I hate being on steroids, I get roid rage!, Does anybody have any suggestions? Anybody that has had asthma for a while, are these the symptoms? This is horrible, I cant even go a flight of stairs without losing breath. I have quit smoking, its been 2 months since Ih ave had a cigarette. Please help!
