Exercise Induced Asthma

Physical activity can trigger symptoms in most people with asthma. Symptoms may occur either during or immediately after being active.

But regular exercise and physical activity is good for all of us. In fact, doctors recommend that most people, including people with asthma, get at least thirty minutes of moderate physical activity several times a week.

The good news is that if you have good control of your asthma, exercise should not be a problem for you. In fact, most people with asthma should be able to participate in any physical activity they like without experiencing asthma symptoms.

Here are some things you can do to prevent or reduce exercise induced asthma.

* Ask your physician about using a short acting beta2agonist inhaler about fifteen minutes before exercise. This usually can prevent and control exercise induced asthma.

You can also use this medicine to relieve symptoms during and after a workout. But remember to let your doctor know if you have to use it often during or after exercise.

It may be a sign that you need to start taking daily long term control medicine or to increase your dosage.

* Try warming up for about ten minutes before exercise. A long warmup may help you handle continuous exercise without having to stop repeatedly to take more medicine.

Good ways to warm up include walking, doing flexibility exercises, or trying other low intensity activities.

* Try to avoid your other asthma triggers while exercising. For example, if cold, dry air triggers your asthma, wear a scarf or cold air mask when exercising outdoors in winter.

* If you have been having mild asthma symptoms, consider modifying the intensity or length of the activity you do.

* Try exercising indoors when outside temperatures are extreme, or the ozone level is high. The same is true if you are allergic, and the grass has recently been mowed, or pollen counts are high.

* When first starting to exercise, try increasing your level of activity gradually over time.

Remember, asthma should not limit your participation or success in physical activities - even vigorous activities like running for long periods of time or playing basketball or soccer.
