I've been having breathing problems and chronic fatigue with asthma even after taking Symbicort and singulair regularly.  I was prescribed 30mg prednisone for a week.  is this high dose ok?

I have cortisol levels of 2.4.  Can this be caused by long term symbicort/albuterol?  Does asthma mean that my lungs are damaged or only inflamed?
