asthma

[tang071]

my coach sent me to the docotor last fall and she said i have exercise induced asthma. i currently use albuterol but i feel it isnt really working. i already have breathing problems after running for 15 mins as opposed to running cross country.

so this is to all those members who have asthma too (don't be ashamed to admit it), what brands have you used and what works best? also, how long does a canister last for you?

funny thing is, i thought i was out of shape, but i had acute sports induced asthma, i didn't need a canister. hahaaaaa lucky for me right? no, now i can't tell the difference when i'm running hahaha. sad.

I wanna say that albuterol is albuterol and there is no brand better than the other. I suggest you just keep on exercising. Try doing sports that you can exercise take long breaths so you can exercise the lungs like swimming. Unfortunately, I'm old so I don't do much of that stuff anymore so what I do is sing and run at the same time. I know it sounds stupid, but it has helped me a lot.

I only use albuterol when the weather is cold and when I feel a wheeze in my lungs. I don't like to take much of albuterol, it makes me shake and lose concentration, so don't depend too much on it.

I hope you will get better, Take Care...
