I have exercise-induced asthma. what are the best physical exercises & medical practices to weaken this phenomenon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Desensitization: A way to do it in your case we say is to keep up with you maintenance medicine of advair, singular, antihistamine, etc., given by your doctor. Then before exercise take your rescue inhaler once (albuterol). Start with low level exercises, get you body used to the irritant and build up slowly. This is like a desensitization method.
