Asthma by physio!

The other night i was having a moan about asthma, today i'm having a laugh about it.

Last night i went to running club but only did about 2 miles, though slightly faster than i have been doing of late so my lungs were slightly twitchy today, definitely wouldn't say it was any worse than that.

Went swimming and did 80 lengths - without taking reliever beforehand and felt absolutely fine.

I went to my physio appointment cos i've got an injured foot (5th metatarsalgia apparently!) but she's also treating my back / ankles / calf muscles. The treatment today was very painful and i could feel myself getting tense / holding my breath against the pain etc Once she'd finished and i'd relaxed the cough started! I was hoping i could last until i was out before taking the inhaler (i wasn't exactly embarrassed at it actually being asthma but more, i think i felt silly for it being triggered by a physio session!). Anyway, when i went out to pay and book the next session both the physio and the girl on the desk were concerned about me asking did i want a glass of water or a cough sweet so decided to settle everyone's nerves (and my lungs) and take the inhaler.

Silly lungs again, ah well!

Hello Jinglefairy,

Please don't do this sort of exercise without taking you reliever. It is better to be safe than sorry & you never know but you might run/swim even better than otherwise.

It is not a failure or anything negative to not take it. Anything that is going to possibly trigger you off & that includes exercise take it.

Bests to be safe
