How Can Shortness Of Breath Be Prevented?

I have history of COPD, asthma and inflammation of the larynx. Right after Christmas I began having shortness of breath more than usual. I have had labs done and seen my pulmonary specialist. I am currently on Spiriva, Nasonex, and Atrovent and was on prednisone from Jan 16-20. All tests results are good. I also have Type II diabetes, Nonalcoholic cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease (rt nephrectomy in 2004), ITP. My Pulmonary said my lungs sound clear. Is there anything I can do to prevent from having these episodes.

No usually in most cases this is the right treatment. Take flu vaccine in autumn to prevent you from getting flu in winter season.
