How Do You Deal With Exercise-Induced Asthma?
Exercise-induced asthma can be very difficult to cope with, especially if you would like to have an active lifestyle. Being mindful of the symptoms of an attack, the best times to exercise and taking your medicine correctly are the best ways to healthfully deal with your asthma. Make sure to discuss exercise routines with your physician before embarking on any exercise. Having exercise-induced asthma should not, generally, prevent you from exercising. Take your inhaler or other asthma medicine 15 to 20 minutes before exercise, and you should be able to exercise for a few hours without any symptoms. Know the symptoms of an attack. If you begin to feel your chest tightening while you are exercising, hear yourself wheezing, begin coughing or have excessive shortness of breath, stop what you are doing immediately and contact your doctor about these symptoms. Check the weather. Knowing the pollen count, humidity and temperature can help you prevent having an asthma flare up while exercising
