Asthma Questions for Your Doctor

I’ve heard that some of the medications used to treat asthma can actually have unhealthy side effects involving my bone mass. How can I treat my asthma and prevent osteoporosis at the same time?
Is it safe for me to use my asthma medications if I’m trying to become pregnant? How about once I am pregnant?
Is asthma something I can prevent? Are there things that are known to cause asthma? If so, what can I do to prevent contact with them?
What specific measures can I take in my home and/or my office that will help to minimize my risk of having an asthma attack?
Is all asthma caused by the same triggers? Is it possible for someone to have an asthma trigger that is unique to them?
What steps should I take if/when I experience symptoms of asthma? How do I know when to take medicine, which medicine to take, and when to call the doctor? In other words, what is my specific plan of action?
