Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / September 2006Climbing stairs???
Recently I have noticed that climbing stairs causes a shortness of breathe. This is a little scary for me because I am very active and running on a regular basis. Can a person develop asthma in their adult year? jjmager jjmager777@hotmail.com > Recently I have noticed that climbing stairs causes a shortness of > breathe.

That's where mine really showed up. Your best bet is to see a specialist on asthma and allergies for a start. This is a good newsgroup to get general information, but it is not a substitute for a doctor. My own asthma is now well controlled with medication with no side effects. I feel lucky, but I don't think my case is unusual. Good luck. -- Lou Pecora (my views are my own) REMOVE THIS to email me. > Recently I have noticed that climbing stairs causes a shortness of > breathe.

I got one yesterday for the times which I have asthmatic symptoms. Maybe get one and use it when you need to. It might help you so you have less of these episodes. yes, my dd, only 9, uses her inhaler before gym, at least 10 min. before Melissa my dd has exertion(only when she runs, though she rides her bike ok) asthma, which means every time she climbs the stairs or does gym class her asthma acts up, not sure why it ONLY does it then but...... Melissa > Recently I have noticed that climbing stairs causes a shortness of > breathe.

I get very lightheaded and my heart pounds. I am using QVar, 4 puffs 4 times a day, and Albuterol 2 puffs every 3 or 4 hours as needed. It doesn't seem to me that it is working the way it should. I use a spacer. Maybe I'm not doing it right. > my dd has exertion(only when she runs, though she rides her bike ok) asthma, > which means every time she climbs the stairs or does gym class her asthma [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > jjmager > > jjmager777@hotmail.com using a spacer is a good thing what are you allergic to i can't do some of those things you do cause it causes the dust to fly and then i get sick/sneezing, etc. when i don't feel well, i can't climb stairs either what is Qvar? melissa > using a spacer is a good thing > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Qvar is the prevention medicine. I'm allergic mainly to dust and some trees. When you sneeze does it make you feel lightheaded? I get sneezing fits sometimes where I'll sneeze maybe 15 or 20 times, and I feel like I'm going to fall down. Hello jjmager When going up your stairs try breathing through your nose before, during and after climbing the stairs Plus this is the important bit, your pace of climbing the stairs is determand by your breathing, keep your breathing rate slow just as you are breathing before you started to climb your stairs This might take you 2,3,5,times as long to climb your stairs If you can't breathe though your nose let me know Regards Alex 39 year old Alex Spence "School days were plagued by asthma. I can remember when I was at Primary School and had an asthma attack. I didn't have my Ventolin puffer with me. One of the ladies at the school had to drive me home, which was four miles. It was probably the longest four miles of my life; I felt I was going to die. My chest was really tensed up and my shoulders were hunched over. I was really struggling to breathe. I eventually arrived home and got the Ventolin, which relieved the symptoms and then I could breathe again. Asthma was in total control of me. The Buteyko Breathing Method, has put me in control of my Asthma and other symptoms." www.buteykoscotland.co.uk > Recently I have noticed that climbing stairs causes a shortness of > breathe.
