Doctors’ responses

If you’re finding that asthma is causing heavy breathing and making you tire more quickly during physical activities, there are a few strategies to consider. First, ensure your asthma is being properly managed with the right medication regimen. This often includes a combination of a daily controller inhaler and a quick-relief inhaler, and it’s essential to use them as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Before exercising, using your quick-relief inhaler about 15-30 minutes prior can help prevent exercise-induced symptoms. Monitoring the environment is also key; exercising in conditions that are cold, dry, or polluted can exacerbate asthma symptoms, so try to work out in a controlled, indoor environment when possible. Implementing a consistent warm-up routine can help ease your lungs into a more strenuous activity, potentially reducing the severity of symptoms. This might involve stretching or light jogging prior to your main workout. Consider adapting your exercise routine to include low-impact activities that might be less taxing on your respiratory system, such as swimming or cycling. Pay attention to your breathing technique, as well; focusing on slow, deep breaths can improve oxygen intake and reduce strain. In addition, maintaining good overall health with a balanced diet and adequate hydration can contribute to better asthma control. If these approaches don’t seem to help, follow up with your healthcare provider, as it may be necessary to review your asthma action plan or adjust medication. It’s important to act promptly if you experience severe or worsening symptoms, as this may require immediate medical attention.
