At my last dr office apointment they heard wheezing in my lungs. They prescribed predisone for the 2nd time this year. Im very careful about handwashing. I eat well salads and lean meats and such. i exersise moderatly.

 

The doctor wants to do a full pysical with extensive blood work.

 

I use a nebulizaner advair and proair albutural rescue pump. I still wheeze.should I urge my dr to have me see a specialist?

Actually, that might be a good idea.  The asthma guidelines note that if you are not meeting.  The asthma guidelines notes the indications for when it's time to see a specialist for your asthma here.  Click on that link and scroll down to page 68.  Based on what you describe here, it might be time.  Good luck getting your asthma under control.
