    I have had sever asthma since I was born on March 11th, 1989. My asthma has gotten better but I am still only breathing about 50-60% of what normal lungs can. That is my good days. Growing up I had be be put on steroids in the winter when I would get worse for the first 7 yrs of my life and then on and off after. No one told me but the steroids messed with my calcium and later I fractured my foot just from walking.

    Believe it or not I have been to see my doctor as I was concerned about some symptoms that I though were caused by asthma, but when my doctor examined my breathing she said that my lungs were clear and that it could have been a very mild form of asthma. I told her that I wanted go back to the gym and she said that I should do so and if I experience any tightness in my chest during exercise I should be back for further testing:why can I not have it done before going back to exercise,just in case?

    @Heather4Forever
    polyps dont kill they can be removed easily surgically and u can easily breathe thru the nose. Its not even a big surgery ..go to a proper ENT doctor and discuss it with him…we see many people with polyps dialy…dont worry

    @Imajenify
    no its a completely reversible disease. most ppl just need a cheap Csteroid like clenil to prevent the attacks.. if u have acute attack then medications are give a for a few days then one is supposed to continue with clenil inhaler which is cheap andu just have to keep another inhaler like ventolin with u…both r cheap u can take it whenever u have the problem. go to a doc

    I have ignored my asthma hoping it will just go away. I suffer with the cough and its gets especially worse when I excersize and I am around smoke. I dont want to go to the doctor for fear I would need exspensive treatment. I dont smoke myself and my friends are real nice to me and dont smoke around me. Is this enough?

    Are you a doctor? I dont think so; so unless you are you are very stupid to be suggesting this and can cuase more harm than good. Do you not realize a child ask questions on here. Read up on just what Marijuana harms. It’s your brohnchial tubes idiot!

    I’m sorry, Heather4Forever. I’ve had severe asthma my entire life and I know just how difficult it can be to go through your pre-teen and teenage years with our condition. It gets tough at times, I know, but understand that you aren’t alone. Remembering that there are tons of people around the world experiencing the same issues I am has always been an encouragement to me and I hope it is to you, as well.

    I dont really talk about it, its just when I take my inhaler and my friends are like “omg!!!! Are you ok?!?!?!?!” Gets so annoying after a bit.
    And I wanted to be a nurse in the army, but I guess ild have to be a nurse in a hospital… I cant do sports because I have problems with my legs so its too painful to do sports, but I can swim just have to put inhaler on the side with the life guard.

    swimming is also VERY good cause you learn to control your breathing more or something, plus the workout is good for you cause you use up all the muscles in your body and getting fit helps with asthma, but its hard at the start if your asthma is bad just keep it up :)

    ya me too… and i hate that fact and when i tell my friends how bad my asthma is they laugh at me and tell me its not that bad (its pretty commen here is it where you live?) but i men i can do sports and stuff it i take my mediecine like im sopossed too :)

    to help prevent asthma whilst running, doing sport etc, make sure you use the preventers properly, always carry a blue inhaler(sometimes one puff before can help), and breath calmly. Also for me i went out on my bike everyday and it slowly got a bit better.
