Asthma and Exercise

[Bel 1]

Hi Everyone *waves*

I have been banded 6 years and lost all my weight but i am finding now that i have decided to lose a bit more i have to work a lot harder to do it. Problem is that im a severe asthmatic and i struggle to keep my breathing under control while i exercise at any decent pace....i am on medication but it doesnt help and the doctor cant give me anything else. I need to work harder to lose the weight but my chest gets soooo tight and i nearly faint half way through cause i cant get enough air.

I use my elliptical and have used that to lose the weight before but when i try to up the anti i cant last 10 mins.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this, asthma and exercise and how you manage to get past it....any help would be appreciated cause its really starting to piss me off.....i know i can go for hours if i didnt have the asthma because i am fit apart from my shallow lungs!:thumbup:

Thanks for the reply....i found out today i actually have Exercise Induced Asthma and the only treatment for it is drugs. I saw my doctor this arvo and he gave me a really strong med that will hopefully help so i plan on trying it out today. Wish me luck!!!
