asthma

i was just curious who here at MAP has asthma. and whether or not it affects your training, i have asthma and most of the time i am fine how about everyone else.

 

Ive got asthma, doesn't affect my training anymore and has gotten so much better since I started training. Ive not had to go to hospital with it in years.

 

u guys should look iinto pranayama breathing methods... it's very effective against asthama. It can cure it...

I have asthma and about the only time it worries me is in winter. It has gotten better since I started MA and I know will get a lot better once i give up smoking.

 

I'm asthmatic. It's not usually an issue, although sometimes if the weather is humid or unusually cold I get attacks. Really it's just a case of looking after yourself: regularly taking medication, especially bronchodilators.

 

Yep, chronic asthmatic as a wee kiddie and and one of my earliest memories was being told by a doc that i might grow out of it when i was ten. On my tenth birthday i ran screaming down the road hoping it was over and damn near killed myself. Instant hospital trip. :bang:

Now i'm all grown up and i'm responsable with my preventative medication it don't stop me from doin MA or anything else for that matter.
Glad to see it doesn't stop anyone else who has posted yet aswell!!

 

mild asthma. I take my ventolin (salbutamol) before class and then I don't have a problem.

 

I have asthma, just take your preventor every night and you should be fine. Swimming can cure asthma.

 

I have asthma, It doesn't affect me too much anymore. Since i started running more often, yet if I'm feeling ill I take it before MA class or before I run.

 

Yes I do have asthma, it sometimes affects my training.

 

I have it. Running outside in the cold during wrestling practices helped me get over it for the most part.

 

Not usually a problem. It gave me trouble during my blackbelt test. 3 x 3 m inute sparring matches.

 

Also have asthma, only affects me when training on intensive day's..

(3-4 hr straight training)

 

Yup, asthma sufferer here. Sometimes I need a blast of reliever during training but it never gets in the way.

 

I have asthma and it really gets in the way during sparring. We usually spar 5 or more matches and I usually have to sit at least 1 out which really disappoints me a lot considering Ive been doing this for a while.

 

have it, and it did get in the way, no I puff my inhaler before every class. hate the inhaler, but hate the asthma more

 

Yep, I have a problem with asthma but I refuse to give into it. I still train and do everything else even when I'm getting a little pain but I'm used to that one lol. The asthma is getting bad at the moment as I've got a lot on my mind which needs sorting but I'm trying to find help on that one.

I have mild asthma too - I take a single puff of ventolin before each class, regardless of whether I need it or not. Due to this I rarely feel wheezy whilst training any more.

I'd say having asthma *does* affect my training, as both my overall lung capacity and the speed with which I can inhale/exhale a full breath is about 80-85% of what is considered normal for my age, height and weight.

That said, isn't martial arts about being the best *you personally* can be? Just my 20,000 Lira on the subject.

 

I have asthma. I take my inhaler thingy before training and it tends to help a lot. Want to know how to clear it up though, its a pain in the backside.

 

Get a steroid inhaler called seritide. That stuff cured my asthma.
