I have a low case of it, and got an attack few days ago with 33 degrees celcius with smog alert. I pretty much couldn't breathe when i came home after 4hrs riding. It took around 30 minutes to regain my breathe literally probably from all thee hill training, my lungs were sore a bit. But this never happened to me before, i think only smog and pollution will effect your condition as it did with me.

Suffer from it in a mild case, sometimes I am fine, recover quickly after sprints or long rides but other times, like this morning, my muscles and that feel fine but I am breathing heavily even half an hour after i've finished riding. I hate asthma.

True, I wouldn't immediately go to your doctor and get all kinds of medication that aren't actually good for you in the long term! Main thing for me has always been to keep up the fluids really well and supplement extra omega 3 and 6 oils. Having a chest pain when breathing in however is something I sometimes have myself even when no exercise done that day, wondering if anybody has any idea what it might be. Seems to go away after breathing out and relaxing chest. |

I am a Asthmatic rider, and deff have had some rough seasons and taken one off because of it. I have problems when the ozone is yellow to red warnings I tend to get chest pains then. I just recently started on a medicine that I take before I ride and it seems to help a lot I don't believe I have touched my inhaler after taking it.

Im asthmatic, but it doesn't affect me apart from very cold air, or if i start sprinting. (so i don't do it often) (just when testing out new cyclepaths etc).
I can bike all day and im fine. . . Run 100m and i just about die. |
