A member asked:
Does asthma affect athletes? if so why and how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Asthma in athletes illustrates several things very clearly: the first of which is, it is not a disabling disease when properly managed, and it is a very manageable disease when taken seriously. Preventive treatment, and timely rescue treatment, allow athletes with asthma to achieve anything up to and including olympic gold (see amy van dyken.).
