Mickey Posted July 18, 2006 Share I am not a true asthma sufferer but in winter get a constant close up of the chest. Just keep on coughing all the time. No phlem or anything chest just closed. Exercise helps a lot and chest stay open for an hour maybe 2 afterwards. Anyone else out there with a simalar problem? What your treatment. smileys/smiley5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted July 18, 2006 Share I had that exact same problem at the start of the winter. Especially at night. I got myself a asthma pump wich helped. I've found that when I ride regularly it clears up completely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 18, 2006 Share Mud Dee thanks ... what asthma pump did you use. I currently use Symbicort. Asthavent, Pulmicort, Atrovent (nebulisor) and Combivent. Yep in the summer it goes away but I want it gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted July 18, 2006 Share I used Asthavent, but only when I really needed it. But I stopped using it for now. I never suffered from asthma before, so this was quite a shock. I take care not to ride in too cold weather or whenever I've got a nasty cough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapkas Posted July 18, 2006 Share Mickey, be carefull, i have had asthma now for 20 years and if it is not treated in the right way you may find yourself dead in your bed one day!!! Rather go and see a lung doc and have it treated properly!! Also if you use the wrong stuff and get tested it is TATA Fietsry, helo Skandaal!!!

Ivanb Posted July 18, 2006 Share Have you tried Powerlung. It is a respiratory muscle trianer that strengthens the breathing muscles. It is also used as a warm up tool.It does not mean you must stop medication but it gets the muscles stronger so that these symptoms are reduced.These muscles are the only muscles that cannot be strengthed through normal training as one cannot target them specifically see www.powerlung.co.za http://www.powerlung.co.za/images/other/index_sport.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnega Posted July 18, 2006 Share Asthavent works fine for me. It contains Salbutamol which is on the banned substances list. If you are licensed and race at national champs or place in the big races then get a Therapeutic Use Exemption from Cycling SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
