I recently had an EKG and chest x-ray and everything was fine. I will probably be going to an pulonary specialist next. I have breathing probs only when I exert myself for anything here lately. At first it was when I was exercising (inclines especially) but now it's gotten worse w/like I said any exertion I do. I never had as a child. I'm now 57 and this only started often and own since last year. My mom had asthma as a child and my daughter had the EIA but has outgrown it. Does this seem to be my problem or do you see signs of something else? Any help is greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19043248.post-1164997211902991992006-12-01T13:20:00.000-05:002006-12-01T13:20:00.000-05:00I never had asthma as a child or adult until I was diagnosed 2 years ago after complaining that I wasn't brethaing the same way I used to, and my voice was much softer. Could it be as a result of the 9/11 pollution? I live and work 5 miles from there, although I was 3 miles away at the time.Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04340927187729991565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19043248.post-1142447238976868902006-03-15T13:27:00.000-05:002006-03-15T13:27:00.000-05:00Thank you for your insight on outgrowing asthma. I for years thought I out grew it relying on the occasional Albuteral for emergencies which were weeks if not months in between. I know for a fact that I didn't avoid my allergens. In fact that is WHY I thought I out grew the condition/disease. Then living in NYC after 9/11, it came back with a vengance and I've had to be on Cortico steriods and frequent use of my emergency inhaler. I have a question, now that my have a reaquainted myself with a daily medication routine. What is the acceptable heart rate scale for someone with asthma who primes for a workout with an albuteral use. Resting/exercising? It is so hard to find this kind of specific, yet important information for the millions of asthma sufferers like me. I do not include my age on purpose so that a chart like the one for normal people can be created/distributed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
