Is There An Alternative To Inhalers When Asthma Aggravates While Exercising And Hot/ Humid Conditions?
My daughter has asthma and it seems to flare up more when she's exercising or is when the weather is too hot and humid (she lives in NYC). She's 29 years old and only started this condition couple of years ago. Other than using her inhaler is there anything else she can do to overcome the shortness of breath? Thanks..

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
By the history you are giving,most probably your daughter is suffering from intrinsic or idiosyncratic asthma,that can come due to various reasons,of which exercise is also one of the cause.
So i would suggest your daughter to avoid exercise as much as possible.
She can also do respiratory exercises to get some relief.
Thank you.
