A member asked:
If you have asthma should you ever work out at the gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While asthma cannot be cured, it can be controlled and that means being able to exercise (at the gym or outside). While >80% of people with asthma have exercise as a trigger, an asthma specialist can assist in developing an individualized treatment plan that should allow you to work out. Many olympians have asthma!
