Does anyone have asthma?

So I stalled until the last minute to get my report on asthma done. Does anyone have asthma? How long have you had it? How do you find out? Have you had severe asthma attacks? What do you do about it?

If anyone could answer these questions, that would be great. Thanks.

Had it when I was young. I don't really have it anymore. It's never been a problem for a long time, I can run, do really whatever I want and it hasn't shown up. Was sort of a problem when I was like 10 or so, and a little younger.

No, I am a winner.

Used to have it when I was younger. You can tell you have it if you are winded easily and can't run without taking several break in the process to catch your breath. I have had one asthma attack that I can remember. I was like 8 maybe and was going to sleep when my lungs felt empty and I couldn't take in very much air. Felt a lot like I was suffocating slowly, eyes started watering and was panic stricken.

But I no longer have asthma. I run track and exercise several times a week, and can even run a little bit of long distance.

I have exercise induced asthma (scientific term? Probably not.) or something of the sort. It takes a while, but something like running more than a mile or sprinting will get me, but not while I'm running. Once I'm done and I stop moving, then it hits me. Count it, I guess.

I've had it for as long as I can remember, and like I said, it comes on after heavy exercise. Never had an "attack," as I anticipate it, and I just sit down and have to think about breathing in and out regularly. It never gets me unawares. I've gone to my doctor and told him about it, but he says it's not run-of-the-mill asthma, and I've just left it at that. It doesn't affect me that much to be what I call a serious problem.

Same for me. I used to have a inhaler when I was really young, but I don't need it anymore.

I have fat-induced asthma

I got it by eating to much subway, and not exercising

I've had it since I was 10 years old

I've had many terrible attacks, and need an inhaler on me at all times or I could die! It radically affects my social life as well

I usually smoke pot-stuff to control it.

Never had it. One of my friends has a severe case though. Almost died in 7th grade.

Used to have asthma, was brought on by Cat's.
Got rid of the resident cat then 3 days later was told it was run over by a arctic lorry.
Meh.

I have the reversed symptomps (it's not an illness)...I can breath very fast in and out but I can't breath such a big amount in.

You mean you hyper ventalate? In that case, its probably just genetic.

I have never had asthma.

NO...I said I don't have an illness...it's just a fact that I CANT get Asthma

Underaverage sized lungs, overaverage breathing freqeunecy. (You don't notice it...I'm the best in my sports class because it's not a disadvantage)

you can get asthma...dosnt matter how big or small your lungs are.
at one time my lungs were 25% the capacity of what they should have been and i got asthma for a short while even then.

Dude, the capacity is obviously not relevant for Asthma, but the breathing speed/frequency is.

In medicine, hyperventilation (or overbreathing) is the state of breathing faster and/or deeper than necessary, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood below normal.[1]

... not an illness.

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 1:13 pm

Then a habit...whatever...how am I suppose to know the correct term?

I don't breath "faster and/or deeper than necessary"...I just can breath faster when I want to.
