Exercise Induced Asthma?
Here is a handy checklist from the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology
| Use a short-acting inhaler, 15 minutes prior to exercise. This will help ease asthma exacerbations and lasts between four to six hours. | |
| Warm-up for six to ten minutes before beginning a full exercise program. | |
| Drink plenty of fluids. | |
| Stop exercising if symptoms arise. | |
| Cool down at the end of your exercise. | |
