Riders with asthma?

[makbike]

I too suffer from asthma and have most of my life. Are you using any type of medication to control your asthma? Have you talked to your doctor about how your lungs are responding while you cycle? If not, I would urge you to schedule an appointment and share with them what you are experiencing. Asthma is not something to play around with nor something that should be ignored for it can and does kill on a regular basis.

There are many medications that can be used to bring things into balance and prevent your attacks. I use two inhalers (albuterol and Q-Var) on a daily basis and take singulaire and allegra as well. The combination of these drugs has kept me from having an asthma attack for nearly two years. It has taken several tries to find the right combination of drugs to keep things in check. I am blessed to have a doctor who willl work with me and listen to me when I go in for my six month check-ups. It is so nice to ride and not have to struggle with my lungs closing down and fight for each small breath of air my body requires.

I hope this helps.
