An asthma specialist is called a Pulmonologist. They deal with all lung and breathing issues. It's really important to consult one if you have asthma so they can guide you on managing it, including what kind of exercise or walking is safe for you.

That would be a Pulmonologist. Sounds like a mouthful, almost as hard to pronounce as trying to have a proper thought when you're super sleep-deprived. Basically, they're the lung whisperers.
