Re: exercise was Re: Hit there,

[Guest guest]

I have been advised that if I want to do exercise/sports then I should

take

2 puffs of rescue inhaler 15mins before I begin. And make sure my rescue

inhaler is with me just in case

I do use my inhaler but still stay in attacks for 4 days after I

exercise.

It works when I'm actually exercising but by nightfall the attacks hit

then they won't stop for 4 straight days then it stops again until the

next time I exercise then I go through it all over again. I get 2 days

break into I have to go through it all over again.

Sounds to me like you should reduce your exercise program back - to real

baby steps - until you are able to tolerate more etc. Re-access what you

are doing - see if you can find a physio who specialises in lung arena who

can help you put together a programme

A bit like my physio who isn't in the lung arena but I have because of my

skeletal problems who suggested the walking - not fast walking but walking

to keep my joints a little more flexible. I started real small - just

increased how many days I did until I could go for a whole hour

somewhere! Recently I was talking about selling my car and getting a

motorised scooter or bicycle and his immediate reaction was " NO - WHAT

ABOUT YOUR BALANCE! So that is where someone who specializes in what ails

you is the best to get you on your way

Now I'm back to real small again because of the new thing asthma but I hope

to work up to doing maybe other things ;-) in baby steps.

Hi !

Thanks for advice! I have started off in babysteps once I was diagnosed

with asthma. Started with 5 minutes a week and I'm up to 25 minutes a

week and now I even can go long distance walking in a slow pace which I

couldn't do 2 months ago. But I will ask my doctor about it when I see

him this month. I just feel that this is just my new life and I just

have to get use to it. Other asthma person told me it take a long time

for the attacks to stop with exercise I just feel so frustrated my

health never controlled my life before I even have to cancel activities

if my breathing not good enough to go out cause going out means I have

to use my lungs more plus deal with perfumes and smoke which are 2 of my

biggest allergies. But I don't wanna end up in the hospital neither

where they take forever to figure out how to treat my condition. I

guess I'll figure something out eventually. I guess.

HUGS!!!

hi wildthing,

i read a leaflet about exercise induced asthma, and it said swimming was

good, something to do with not being outdoors but i forget the technical

stuff. for me, any exercise outdoors is a hundred times worse than

exercising indoors.

this singulair that i've started taking says it can prevent exercise induced

asthma,

Shaz,

So swimming is the only exercising I can do? If that's the case I guess

I need to see about joining a gym. No swimming pool in this house.

hi,

it wasn't just swimming, but i have a poor memory so i only remembered the

swimming because it's what i decided to do after i read the leaflet, learn

to swim. unfortunately i'm rubbish at it, lol! there were other things

mentioned, and tips on how to avoid asthma when exercising, but i forgot

most of it, as i get hayfever most of the year round i don't really do

outdoors stuff much ... others might have better ideas than i do :-)

what about taking antihistamine? or asking your doctor about singulair?

I found an asthma list it's:

walking

bicycling

skating

swimming

tried walking-attack

have no skates and skating rinks are closed when kids are in school

so all is left is bicycling and swimming

and don't know if i can afford a gym

so bicycling is the only thing I can do

so will try that

if doesn't work

i'll just go shopping and i know i can do that even if i don't buy

anything to keep my body active for the rest of my life

i find bycycling really hard :-(

shopping too, for some reason i get really bad asthma when i'm carrying a

bag or two!

what about ice skating? that doesn't affect my asthma at all and i love it.

are you in the states? we have an indoor skating rink, it's expensive, and

more than an hour's drive away so we only go once or twice a year. we also

go walking on the chase (huge forest area) but we all have to take

antihistamine first, lol! my son and i both get hayfever and eczema from

grass/trees/etc.

this might sound daft (and it has an initial outlay but nowhere near as

expensive as a gym for 6 months) but the best exercise i get is in front of

the playstation 2!! we have dance mats, one of the dance games even tells

you how many calories you burn off, and the eye toy is really good fun, and

very energetic. perfect indoor exercise for anyone who gets hayfever

outdoors :-)

OK soooooooo basically I do the cheapest here - walking! I already had to

get decent walking boots/sports shoes because of another problem.

Since the Asthma diagnosis I first had to cut back on it all because I was

soooooo breathless etc, then I found convenient " chairs " on the way to

things, then I found I had to dawdle walking anywhere and never for long walks.

Then the doc suggested 2 puffs of rescue inhaler 15mins before I left on

walks as he said it was a form of sport like rugby! I never equated it to

sport just a casual stroll to help keep my ankles/knees flexible.

Now I can take dawdle walk without initial inhaler however if I know I'm

going to be gone more than say 30mins I use inhaler before I go - I take

rest breaks on " chairs "

Last week something happened that I didn't expect to happen :-) I went to a

meeting which usually has good car parking but the whole carpark proper was

cut up with workman and gear sooooooo I parked down on the roadside/kerb

AND then DIDN'T think about it - walked up a fairly steep but short hill

and then up 2 flights of stairs. OK I was a little breathless on sitting

down and then it became apparent to me and my neighbour that I was in

trouble! I skedaddled out to Ladies Loo and got out rescue inhaler and

took 2 puffs - waiting & then soooooo no one got worried strolled back into

meeting - checked watch and then kept re-checking until 15min later my

neighbour wasn't looking soooooo worried!!

It MADE me realise how serious things are & that next time I'm in that

predicament I should make a decision to either drive home straight away or

be late to meeting and take rescue inhaler 2 puffs - wait 15mins and then

attempt walk.

I was thinking of learning to swim properly when my ankle/knee probs were

in the foreground but it all was tooooo much of a problem - this is when I

didn't know I had asthma but got tired easily and the symptoms didn't

really fit the other diagnosis. Now I don't know - maybe next Summer I will

consider it although the ankles are not strong enough for the kicking

motion soooooooo we shall see.

I cannot use a bike because of my balance problems and I know that skating

will fit right into the balance problems as well :-)

in NZ

" chairs " are anything I can sit on comfortably - I cannot sit on the ground

because I have a devil of time getting up again with my wonky ankles/knees! <g>
