Asthma weight contro: I'm assuming your wife is taking steroids. Oral steroids may cause weight gain but once the asthma is under control she should switch to inhaled steroids which won't have the same side effects. She should try not to gain too much weight as obesity makes asthma worse and can also cause sleep apnea. Exercises that are good for asthmatics are: swimming, indoor aerobics such as treadmill, elliptical.
