Post I get hayfever - I'm not ashmatic!!

I wonder if anyone can offer any advice...

I went for a Class 1 medical about 8 years ago, during the summer.

The CAA detected a problem with my lungs (via the inhale/exhale test). I was made to run around the building at Gatwick (it was a hot day!) and re-tested, after which I was diagnosed with ashma, therefore no Class 1.

I actually get hayfever during the summer and one of the symptoms can be occasional shortness of breath (usually at night), but this clears immediately with the use of a ventolin inhaler. The symptoms only last through July and August, with nothing for the rest of the year.

8 years on I still have ambitions to fly professionally in some way/shape/form - anyone have any thoughts on the likely response from the CAA??
