I’m on Qvar twice daily and I’m on a Flovent (albuterol) rescue. I’m fairly well controlled, and as odd as it seems, I ALWAYS carry those cheap little Star peppermints with me just in case. Peppermint has actually shown to be a great natural bronchodilator, and I’ve found that sucking on a peppermint genuinely does help if your having a minor attack (I always start with my rescue, of course) but it’s a nice little trick to decrease that shortness of breath.

I do & have for about 30 years.
A few years ago, I began limiting inflammatory foods from my diet for several reasons, but it helped my asthma.
I have a salt inhaler that I use when it’s flaring & I also use Yogi’s Breathe Deep tea.
In a situation where I might need a rescue inhaler & don’t have one handy, I stop (& sit if possible) & try to get my head as close to between my knees as I can. It makes breathing easier. I focus on my breathing & try to regulate it.

Yes. I have a corticosteroid/bronchiodilater inhaler that I take twice a day, Singulair and Zyrtec once daily, and an Albuterol inhaler for emergencies.
Mine is well-controlled...I used to jog regularly before I hurt my knee, and shall do so again when it's fixed.
