Yes you can continue to work. Your asthma/COPD can be controlled on appropriate inhalers. Usually a LABA/ICS combination inhaler with either Albuterol inhaler or the newer rescue inhaler Airsupra Aeroshere. Please ask your PCP or Allergist or Pulmonologist about this.
You should have an Allergy test done, if not already done and avoid triggers both at your work and at home.
