I to have asthma. Wow there are a lot of us. I have ad asthma since I was little but never got tested till this year (I am 37). I have allergies too. When i bike it hits me more then any other time. The Dr wanted me to do they daily inhaler and take and allergy pill and keep my fast acting inhaler around for emergency's. But I don't have it all the time. I just do what works for me. My pulmonolagist suggested taking a puff off my fast acting inhaler 15 minutes before i ride. That works for me I also take an allergy pill every night before I go to sleep. So far so good. Everyone is different you know. I hate having to take something but maybe someday I won't have to anymore.
Oh and drinking wine makes my asthma act up too.
