My son has just got an asthma attack which means that the asthma that the docter believed was gone forever has come back. Should i be worried?

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?

Lucky Cat asked:


Is it possible that i might have asthma? I have spells where it seems hard to take a full breath and times where it doesnt bother me at all. And is it possible that it could spring up overnight? Cause i have had some problems before when running, but three days ago i just woke up with the problem in the morning, and it doenst bother me when im sleeping or right after i get up…What could i have? Asthma?

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!

Ive had asthma all of my life. I’m an active 15 year old girl doing PE for GCSE but recently my asthma has become so much worse and going for the tiniest jog will start it off. Any tips?

Whenever I have an asthma attack albuterol does not work. The only thing that works is coughing really hard until my lungs vibrate really hard and then my asthma goes away. Why is this?
how would flomax work?
I am on advair. albuterol. and xolair twice a month.

I have asthma and i am wondering if it is possible to get my medical marijuana green card for it, i heard it works and i am interested in trying it.
Oh yeah and before you respond please research because i have and it actually helps the larnyx relax in a different way then most other medicines, i am just looking for a second or third opinion, and i as a patient have the right to choose what type of treatment i want as long as it is justifiable.

I made my school’s basketball team and it involves a lot of running. No matter what I do I end up getting an asthma attack. So do u guys have any tips on getting ready for running a lot. Anything that helps the best will get 10 points.

I would really like to get back into shape and lose about 100 lbs while doing it! I’ve started to eat healthier but now I’m ready to add some exercise into my daily routine. I am 28, have had asthma since 1 years old and I have slightly high blood pressure (not enough to get meds for). I want to have a baby next year, so I need to be as healthy as possible! PLEASE HELP!

A. Y asked:


my asthma is bothering me and I don’t have my inhaler with me so I was wondering if there were another way of controlling your asthma…I know steam helps really well is there anything else I could use/do to help tone it down?
