Answers:
I am sorry to hear about your asthma! I would recommend seeing a pulmonary specialist that deals with respiratory disorders and ask about getting put on a steroid of some kind(such as advair or pulmicort) that might help prevent attacks!. There is no cure for asthma, but you can control it well with the right medication!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
It really sucks i know i had to give up sports, but if you are not taking a daily medicine you should go to the doctor and get asthmanex and or singular i started taking these both at the same time and i was actually able to exercise but always keep your inhaler with you!. Another thing you could ask your doc tor about is taking to puffs of your inhaler before exercise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
