You have exercise induced asthma?

I am quite jealous... my asthma would never allow me to swim 2500 staight.

[swimchick61887]

well, probably. I've never been actually diagnosed w/ it, but I occasionally start wheezing during really hard sets or when I run a really long ways...so I think that I probably do have exercise induced asthma, it just takes a lot of effort to induce it.

Yep, I know how you feel babe...

Well... don't go diagnosing yourself. I don't know the range of asthma symptoms, but I can feel the effects immediately, like after running or even jogging a hundred yards. And if its bad it is way past wheezing, I actually can't wheeze during a bad attack because I can't move that much air.

i think my exercise induced asthma, if that's indeed what it is is really mild. Kiri basically has the same things and she went to the doctor and the doctor gave her some pills. *shrug* So since my symptoms are identical I assume that I have the same problem.
