Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am a 46 female, non smoker - was very active. I use to run about 15 k's a week and played a regular basketball match once a week and two Pilates classes. Over the last six weeks, I have experienced shortness of breath especially playing basketball, to the point that I can't suck in enough air! I have just received results from a ct scan of my lungs and it has showed mild hyper inflation. I am booked to see a respiratory specialist in 3 weeks time. In the meantime, I have been given symbicort pump to be used twice daily. Should I stop exercising?
