Shortness of breathe

I was exposed  to a poison at work, since that time, i have had shortness of breathe and wheezing, i have seen a specialist and he placed me on inhalers and a nebulizer, This has happened 15 months ago, i am told that i have RADS,  Does anyone know if this will ever go away ? It`s like having asthma, which i never has before, also, Before the exposure i have anxiety, which i feel makes it worse..

I am 69 now..three years ago my husband and I were putting hardiplank on our house, replacing roofing and Windows. We spent most or all of the summer on scaffolding. I sprayed fruit trees with copper mixture to get rid of mold. We cleaned moss (a lot) off the roof facing north and sprayed moss retardant up there. Shortly after I went to the doctor with a wheeze. He gave me 5day regiment antibiotics, said it would be gone with allergy season. We wrapped up for winter and my husband struck with severe sinus infection. After no antibiotics made it better, he got really bad. Phneumonia like symptoms.
After 72 tests, he had vasculitis. I developed deep chest infection to er 3 tms. Then it was called asthmatic bronchitis. Cold, wet air sets it off. I now believe it's rads. Do lots of herbs, husband in remission. Keep researching. Anti-inflammatory herbs most helpful. Dry warm weather stops it mostly. Busy, avid Gardner, this is very dehabilitating. Learn to wear respirator. A good one.

Asthma is a type of RADs (or reactive airway disease), it may go away spontaneously or may not, time will tell.

Anxiety defintely makes the symptoms worse.
