Has anyone's else's asthma got much worse since last month?

I'm trying to work out what's causing my asthma to have made a big come-back since about the middle of August. It's triggered by allergies such as mould and house dust mites. I take Montelukast which has been working really well for the last few years, meaning I hardly ever need to use my inhaler. But since mid August I've been really wheezy and congested, needing to use my ventolin inhaler every day.
I was wondering if it's something unusual in the atmosphere like a particular weed pollen. Or just my mouldy old house . I don't think it's covid-related (I take regular LF tests through work). I know I should probably see my asthma nurse, but I think she'll just prescribe steroid inhalers again, when I'd rather eliminate the cause if possible.

I had mine a couple of weeks ago and felt fine afterwards

[quote aleC4]@Joy69 I'm so with you on candles and scents! My absolutely worst is Lush, I can't even walk past the shop without wheezing.

I'm joining the worse asthma club too. Mine had been dormant for many years and came back and hit me like a ton of bricks in June. I take Soprobec and have recently upped it to three times a day rather than two. I have no idea what's triggering it but my friend is convinced it was my covid jab as it started straight after.

I dont really know think it is that though. [/quote]
Mine had laid dormant for about 10 years, then last year it was back! It had been so good I'd even been knocked off the Flu jab eligibility list as I hadn't needed inhalers or anything for so long - it appeared I wasn't asthmatic anymore.

Just had a call from the doc, asthma isn't currently impressed with a cold I've had, so been prescribed a course of steroids to try and kick its ass...
