hello there- this is my first time posting on this board. i am 17 and have had asthma since i was about 2 or 3 because my mother smoked while she was pregnant with me. but anyway i used to live in a small farm town in northern indiana and my asthma was pretty controlled. but shortly after i moved to houston with my daddy my asthma seems to have gotten much worse, i went from being on abluterol, to adding singulair and flovent to that list. i m no longer able to play the sports i once loved to play (in fact i had to throw a way a awesome scholarship for soccer and basketball) but i always seem to have a "cough" where i cough every now and them, like i am about to have a asthma attack (my attacks consist of me coughing and coughing and coughing because i can't breathe and wheezing etc, the works) but it is getting me worried because if i laugh to hard i have an asthma attack, if i get to excited i have an asthma attack, heck if i get to upset i have a asthama attack. one time my friend accidently sprayed mace in her house (she sat on her keychain bottle) and i had to go the hospital. also sometimes i get "cramps" in my lungs (every once in a great wwhile). i was wondering if anybody ahad any advice for me as to how to help this, i really don't want to be on anymore medications. can asthma actually get worse?and if so how do i stop it? i m really concerned. any advice would be appreciated.

ps- by the way, i have not lived with my mother who smokes or been around virtually any smoke in 3 years
