I remember when I was first diagnosed with Asthma when I was around 4 having been rushed into the ER late at night, scary stuff, I didn't know what was going on. The main reason I remember that was because I'll never forget the young lad in the bed next to me who was in because he'd swallowed a pound coin
Another time I remember talking to my Mum about something, my asthma had been getting progressively worse over the previous few days and I literally didn't have the energy to take in anything she was saying. The next thing I remember was asking, politely as you like, if I could sit down at which point I promptly dropped to the floor. I've discovered over the years that my problems stem, almost exclusively, from exercise.
I'm not sure which information to take seriously anymore though, one study says this, another that. I feel like the breathing exercises and even just the awareness of how I'm breathing and how often etc that I've naturally acquired have really helped me. As the years have gone by it has actually become far less of a problem personally although I suspect I'll never fully get rid of it.
There were times in the past that it really got to me I have to admit, I was so annoyed that it stopped me from doing things specifically to do with exercise like athletics and such, it felt so debilitating at times which made me so angry. You adapt, you grow, you move past it, in some way or other. I hope Moe keeps well, I really do. It does get better as you get older for most people, you just become so much stronger. Being on guard and understanding my limits etc became second nature to me as well.
