Tips on exercising with Asthma needed!

So I told myself I wouldn't fail on my weightloss journey with the gastric sleeve but biggest thing that is so discouraging is exercising with asthma. It's such a huge burden on my life and I don't know what to do. I don't feel I'm getting enough cardio in just walking and I can barely run for a minute without reaching for my rescue inhaler. Even lifting weights can trigger an attack. What am I to do? :(

I have asthma too, but everyone has it to a different extent. I am thankfully controlled with Advair, and singulair. You should use the rescue inhaler before you start any exercise or weights, and that may help. Find a pulmonologist that can get it better under control, just some opinions, good luck

Please make an appointment to see a pulmonologist to get your asthma under control. The doctor should be able to prescribe some inhaled steroids which will work wonders.

I agree with the need to see someone to get it under control.

I have exercise induced asthma, controlled with singulair, allergy meds, and a rescue inhaler. I am now off the nebulizer, but followed closely by my doctor. I take my allergy meds and singulair daily. I use the inhaler (with a chamber) 20 minutes before beginning any kind of exercise and then again after I am done (usually an hour or so later). It has really helped to adjust my meds.
