If you have been having problems with your chest for a long time then it is going to take a while to get it sorted even with medication now that they have found a cause. The brown inhaler is a preventor I think it has steroids in it and prevents your chest from becoming inflamed. I had to do the whole peak flow thing when I was younger (I think it is still in the cupboard) but I was a rebel and never did it. I only have it because of my allergies in the summer and when I get chest infections asthma plays up. They have tried to put me on the brown inhalers before to prevent me from getting chest infections as bad as I do but Ive never taken them really. Sorry going on a ramble here.
I think it is pretty normal procedure they are taking. I wouldn't be too worried, don't stress yourself out about it as they will tell you if they are concerned about anything x
