It's an enterovirus, it can probably be fixed medically or surgically.

Yup, really mild kind though.

Basically means if I get a cold, it can easily go down into my lungs, and if I don't take an inhaler enough I might get pneumonia.



Discuss if you have Asthma or any other kind of chronic/childhood illness.

Does your house have carpet?

[SeventhSandwich]

Does your house have carpet?

Yes, but like I said, the asthma symptoms will only become apparent when I get sick, and if it goes in my lungs.

I have asthma, regular and exercise induced. I feel your pain. Whenever I start to run or play a sport, if I don't take my inhaler like ever 10 minutes, I can not breathe at all. If you don't have asthma, lucky you as it is hard to describe the sensation that I get. Picture a 300 pound weight on your chest that gives you a hard time breathing and that's the closest that you can get to the asthma feeling. What is happening inside of me is that when I exercise, my lungs shrink a bit and get tighter, making it harder to breathe. Asthma attacks are the worst, too. You suddenly can't breathe, and even your inhaler can't help. You need to go to the hospital and get medicine through a giant inhaler type machine. [/Long Description of Asthma]

That sucks,

but basically my asthma is so weak that it will only become a problem if I get sick.

[PJ Boy]

I have a little bit of asthma, not enough for an inhaler luckily, but my lungs do start "burning" when I start running long distances. It goes away after a while.

Do you ever get like wet coughs during colds?

[PJ Boy]

Do you ever get like wet coughs during colds?

No. Mine is exercise induced, not sickness triggered.

[SeventhSandwich]

No. Mine is exercise induced, not sickness triggered.

That makes sense.

I've probably had asthma for 8 months, since I got a respiratory infection 8 months ago, and another a couple days ago.


I got tested with a peak flow meter, and scored a 270, which the normal is 450.
