Allergy Induced Asthma

I've searched for threads reguarding any kind of Asthma, yet I couldn't find anything reguarding Allergy Induced Asthma. What are your thoughts/opinions on this, and being interested in SF?

My situation is this. As it stands i'm 20 years old, when I was about 14-16 years old, my Doctor put me on inhalers for having 'Asthma'. I used them for quite a while, and I never noticed an improvement. A while after I had switched Doctors, my past Doctor prescribing me with certain inhalers was brought up, so he looked further into it, and said that I was allergic to cats. After getting rid of my cat, it seemed to go away. Although every now & then, I get a wheezy kind of feeling in my chest (lasts for about 10-30 seconds), but it's nothing I can't handle, it's just a weird feeling. I have never in my life had an Asthma attack, but I don't think the Army cares about that, they just care if you've had Asthma after a certain age I think, something around 13 I believe. I still want to get into the Army, but I hope this won't hold me back. If anyone has any information with this specific type of Asthma, please fill me in.

Thanks
