Hi, just wondered if anyone with asthma has had Covid 19 and hope they coped with it? I have milder asthma and only use blue inhaler when needed as unable to take brown one due to allergies. Not sure how you would tell the difference between asthma attack and breathing problems caused by the Covid 19 or if using the inhaler would relieve the symptoms?

My asthma is severe and i take Sirdupla high dose steroids twice a day and my blue inhaler too when needed. I sometimes take oral steroids too. I have had an asthma attack and I have had pneumonia 3 times. if you had covid 19 you would have a fever and a cough probably and as for using your inhaler I would seek medical advice first

I know this was originally posted 3 years ago and covid has been through quite a few variants since then, but I thought I would share my experience.
I tested positive for covid in late October 2022 after attending a work conference with over 200 people. My asthma wasn't affected at all. I didn't even know I had covid until I was tested (another family member in the same house had tested positive) - I just had upper respiratory symptoms like I usually get during a sinus infection (sinus pain/headache, sinus/nasal congestion mostly - no fever).
My asthma is very mild also. I don't take daily medication for it and use a rescue inhaler maybe once a year or less (usually around allergy season).
