Subject: RE: this morning-diagnosed with asthma I was diagnosed with asthma at age 30 or 31...I can't remember. Mostly my symptoms are shortness of breath and chest tightness and/or pain, but this year I am wheezier than I was last year. Still, it hasn't kept me from doing most of the things I want to. High intensity running, especially track work, is problematic for me though. I've yet to come up with a solution, although a long warmup helps a ton One thing that has helped, along with my controller meds, is practicing yoga. I seem t o have fewer problems when I practice regularly (which I haven't been doing, maybe why I am wheezier?) As previously stated, air quality has a huge impact, at least on me. I've never been diagnosed with allergies. |
