Hello,
Thanks for your query.
As an asthmatic you are prone for chest infection. Treatment with steroids also increase the risk of chest infections. In any chronic respiratory disease conditions we expect increase in respiratory markings. Keep a watch on your lung function and practice breathing exercises regularly to improve lung functions.
Hope this answer helps you.
