Well I'm happy you aren't out there taking 20 puffs of Albuterol, sometimes people do tend to overdue it, I saw one individual who took 7 puffs and a little while later took 5 more, I wouldn't want to do that!
I think that doctors do tend to blow people off sometimes if the individual has any type of chronic, diagnosed disorder. My pulmonologists additude is often "You're not dead! You're breathing! Shut up!"
I think they are trained to diagnose and treat specific diseases and some of them just don't respond to things that may be significant at a subclinical level or enhance your quality of life. You're right in trying to find what works best for you.
Good luck,
