You should go check in with your doctor. I see my pulminologist every 3-6 months, so that he can evaluate my condition. Regarding the ventolin - that's albuterol, right? No, in a perfect world you shouldn't be taking it every day. Years ago, I used to hit it every 4 hours. Now I hit it once or twice a month, unless I have a cold or bronchitis. I'm on the Advair 500/50, and I take singulair and atrovent inhaler, and I irrigate my nose twice a day. So it could be possible that you need something else.

Regarding the weight, I was wondering the same thing. I am having a heck of a time losing weight, so if any of my meds are contributing to it, I will switch to something else.
