Madeline - excercise induced asthma

another one from the archives -

nedocromil sodium and exercise-induced bronchospasm -

Single-dose nedocromil sodium can be used to inhibit the severity and

duration of EIB.

A single dose of nedocromil sodium taken 15 to 60 minutes prior to

strenuous physical activity is effective in preventing deterioration

in lung function during the immediate post-exercise period in adults

and children.

Nedocromil sodium facilitates a more rapid return to normal lung

function.

I am really wierd. I actually seem to do better with exercise (very

mild - like getting dressed or tying my shoes!) LOL My oxygen levels

increase during exertion and although I have no stamina, my asthma

does not seem to really be affected.

Having asthma all my life (I will be 53 in two months) I have

experienced exercise induced asthma, but it was in my younger years when

I was going to school. I had little or no meds to depend on, and I

remember phsyical ed. P.E. being a real problem especially during the

winter months out being in the cold air, and when I had colds or flu.

Now, taking my meds as precribed, I can still get exercise induced

asthma, but not in a panic mode (ok I still panic now and then), as the

meds work, and I find that increasing the exercise such as walking fast,

walking fast up hill, bicycling, etc actually in the long run make it

easier to breathe all around. It takes that long haul up a hill a couple

a times where I literally cough my head off when I get there, and have

to stop and wait for things to settle down. But each time I do it, it

gets easier and easier. I think the lungs benefit in the long run if one

does not panic on the first time of coughing so much. I still do not

advise this in cold weather. Something about cold air, I don't care how

well you are doing, it just does not work.

I have heard that Tai Chi, Yoga, or similar type of exercises are

beneficial to asthma. Does any one have any experience with these

types of exercises?

I bought a Tai Chi video but haven't had a chance to try it yet. It is supposed to help.

I take a pilates class offered though Adult Ed. at my local school

district. It is low key but just enough exercise to make me feel good,

and never out of breath. You also focus on your breathing and your

body position a lot so I feel like it helps with my breathing and also

just relaxes me, I don't think about anything else when I am doing it.
