Best to see a lung specialist who can do pulmonary studies to clarify what problem you might be having. Bronchospasm can be caused by more things than allergies.
You need to either see an allergist - they manage asthma better - or pulmonologist. Monika Korff, MDFACAAIoffice-410-730-6000www.allergyasthmamaryland.com
Assuming that the allergy tests were right and you dont have dust or mold allergy, I would wonder if you have a food allergy/sensitivity. Milk(products), and gluten(products) are the most common. It can take up to 6 months to get a food out of your system. If you decide to try it, keep a diet diary of what you eat and when you have symptoms. There may be other foods which bother you(eggs, nuts,yeast,etc.). I hope you get better.
You can have exacerbation of asthma despite no positive allergy tests. COPD with asthma. Meds? Chest xray and Pft results. Cardiac problems?
