Hi Guys,
I would like to hear from any guys who are trying to cope with (relatively) severe asthma. I've had it all my life (incl. hospitalisation as a child) but it cleared up during my teens. Suddenly it's back with a vengeance.
I can usually manage it with Flixotide, but when I wake up in the morning with that tightness in my chest I just don't want to go anywhere near the gym. A ten minute run can leave me hardly able to breath and dizzy for 15-20 mins.
What do you guys do? Am I right just forgetting exercise for the day? I REALLY hate missing out on my work out. Should I, for example, just skip my warm up? It's at the point when the attacks are so bad I'm scared to experiment.
ANY ADVICE???
Thanks
William
