I've had exercise-induced asthma for years. About 6 or so years ago, it worsened to the point that I began getting bronchitis every time I caught a cold. My previous doctor put me on Advair daily, with an inhaler as needed, and it worked great except for the inhaled Advair messing with my throat. My new dr prescribed Singulair and it seems to work even better than Advair and without the annoying side effect of losing my voice.

If I know I'm going to be doing a very strenuous ride, I'll use my inhaler before I begin or within the first couple of miles, just to help keep my airways totally clear. With this regimen, I haven't had an asthma attack in years. Hie thee to a doctor for some breathing tests, woman.
