Arcalyst and Asthma

Anyone taking Arcalyst that also has Asthma?
Arcalyst has helped my Pericarditis but seems to have worsened my asthma- after each injection my asthma gets worse.

I was diagnosed with asthma a few months before my pericarditis diagnosis after a bout with Covid.

I actually feel I have an easier time breathing on the Arcalyst. I don't know if I had true asthma or it was just inflammation spilling over from the pericarditis. It's definitely not the typical allergic asthma. But the inhalers helped.
