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.

I recently been diagnosis w/ asthma. Today I almost pass out from second hand smoke @ work. My co-worker smokes but also let his clothes smoke with him - After his smoke break I literally have to leave - he knows I have asthma - how can I tell him without consequences from manager and other co-workers or making him feel bad?

Sometimes I seem to be using my rescue inhaler more often than other times. I have advair as well, which helps prevent attacks. What are some good ways to control my asthma so I have fewer attacks?

How can I tell if my asthma inhaler worked?

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!

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.

I have asthma (minor, but still, I have it), and I’ve been told that swimming is the best thing an asmatic can do.

Why is that? I know that all arobic exercises are good for your asthma but swimming seems to be the first things people tell you is good. So, why swimming as opposed to say, jogging or biking.
I’m just curious, considering starting a regular swimming workout. Thanks.

How many rounds of the methacholine challenge does it take to rule out asthma?
Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 in Respiratory Diseases
Vicki asked:
I was given a methacholine challenge and after two rounds the doctor quit saying I did not have asthma. I understand that there are 6 rounds used in the test. I continue to have breathing problems and some doctors say it might be asthma - other docs say no asthma? How hard is asthma to diagnose?
