Asthma and playing

Author: dave

I have recently developed asthma and despite several months of trying to
find the right combination of medications, am still unable to breath well.
It has forced me to drop out of the group I play with (temporarily I hope!) I'd like to hear
from others with asthma and how they cope with playing. I find I can't play for
long without becoming extremely breathless and when I need to take a breath, I
just can't get the air in quick enough - even when I use my inhalers.

I am extremely frustrated at this point, not only because I can't seem to get
this under control, but because I get so much enjoyment from playing and I
don't want to have to give it up. Help!!!!
