RAF Policy on misdisagnosed Asthma

Hi

I was 'diagnosed' with Asthma aged 15/16. However, my GP is now investigating a misdiagnosis as a sudden change of me eating a particular type of food has lead to all my symptoms disappearing.

I have stopped eating a food which contained a lot of oil (cultural food) and now I have no issues at all.

Previously, the GP stopped my preventors as they caused more issues than stop them. So I haven't been taking them at all.

I don't use my blue inhalers at all as I don't need to.

So what is the RAF's policy on misdisagnosed Asthma? Which basically means I did not have asthma but the coupging I was getting was due to oil that I would eat.

I know it sounds odd, however, the food is 'curry' my mum would use a lot of oil and being a nipper it became normal for me to eat it.

Now of course, being 21 I make sure I am fit and healthy!

Any advice?
