I am 20 years old and have never had asthma. The last few times after my soccer games I have been coughing a lot, but today I had an actual asthma attack where I couldnt breathe, I had a lot of pressure on my chest, and I couldnt stop coughing. My brother has really bad asthma so I used his inhaler and I sat in the bathroom with steam from the shower and it went away. Is there a way for me to avoid having asthma after exercise? I normally never have asthma.

How can I tell if my asthma inhaler worked?
Posted on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 in Respiratory Diseases
Steve C asked:
Hello, I was diagnosed with asthma and got an inhaler yesterday. It is asmanex, it says that the powder is so fine that I might not be able to taste or feel it, and being the first time I used it I am really not sure if anything happened. I breathed in and felt nothing, but I am not even sure if I used it correctly or if it did anything because it says I might not taste/feel anything.

Can anyone give me any advice on whether it worked or not? Thank you!
Also, it would be helpful if anyone has any tips to using it. Thank you again!

How is exercise induced asthma different to regular asthma?

SPEED N FITNESS asked:
My asthma only kicks in whenever I begin to run or jog, and it always last for the first 15 minutes making breathing difficult. But I refuse to use an inhaler and I push through and keep running even though the air going in to my lungs is tiny. After a while my chest loosens up and my breathing returns to normal. So how is my asthma different to regular asthma?

Allergy season is coming and my asthma will be aggravated, especially when running. Any suggestions on good cardio that I can sustain and keep up my exercise routine much appreciated. FYI: I use Advair.
