Asthma Management
in Health ·
Hey.
Has anyone else dealt with getting winded way too easily during light activity? Like, if I’m carrying a dresser up a flight of stairs or—God forbid—trying to jog a few hundred yards, I’m gasping like I just ran a marathon.
It definitely isn't normal for someone my age—I'm 27—so I'm wondering if it's the Asthma or if it's because I've hit 240 lbs. I'm 6'4", so the weight doesn't show much, but I'm pretty sure it's a combination of both.
As far as meds go, I only use Ventolin as needed, and even then, it’s maybe a few times a year.
Do you think I should get back on a Fentanyl patch? (I stopped using them back in middle school, and my doctor never brought it up since she sees I don't really need them).
