What is a good way to lose asthma?

Question

I have a partial asthma disease thing, and my parents won't let me play hockey. I mean, I don't have asthma, but I rarely have wheezing or shortness of breath and my parents think that it is from the cold air while playing hockey. As you all know, hockey is the best sport in the world and I really want to play it. How can I lose this "disease" and play hockey. You CAN lose this "disease" and please no "I don't know" answers. Thanks

I don't have asthma, it's just a disease that sometimes makes me wheeze or lose my breath momentarily. I have an inhaler but never have to use it. So in a way, i'm asking "How should I persuade tell them that I don't have asthma and to let me play hockey?"

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

There are some very good answers here, however I have come across in my searches, that it is thought, that Diary products cause mucus and that it this may be an influence on asthma. It seems that it would be worth staying off diary products and taking calcium supplements, if that would be any help to the asthmatic. Has any research been done on this ?

Answer 3

has your doctor told you not to play sport because of your illness ? do you have an inhaler to use ? your parents might be right, the cold air does make my asthma worse but that is only going from a warm room to the cold outdoors in winter.i personally think playing a sport would be a good idea. help strengthen the lungs.consult your g p or practitioner nurse for advice.if you have an inhaler it does help to use it before you exercise.

Answer 4

I lost my asthma by changing my diet (I don't eat animals with a spine or dairy products) but this cure is from Instant Healing from Serge Kahili King. Use a radical affirmations like saying to yourself over and over "I do not have asthma, I never had asthma, and never will have asthma!" or my own with out the the negatives "Every day in every way I am feeling and breathing better and better!" Keep it up and good luck!!

The National Institute for Health Research is the author of the National guidelines for diagnosis and management for asthma. They clearly state exercise is not a trigger one should avoid. In other words, someone who has asthma should exercise on a regular basis.

Asthma, especially controlled asthma like you state you have, should not prevent you from playing hockey. Here is a list of pro athletes who have asthma and still play sports.

Jerome "The Bus" Bettis (NFL star of the Pittsburgh Steelers)
Amy Van Dyken (Olympic gold medalist in swimming)
Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Olympic gold medalist in track and field)
Nancy Hogshead (Olympic gold medalist in swimming)
Art Monk (NFL leading receiver for the Washington Redskins until 1995)
Greg Louganis (Olympic gold medalist in diving)
Jim "Catfish" Hunter, (Baseball Hall of Famer)
Isaiah Thomas, (former NBA basketball player)
Dominique Wilkens, (former NBA basketball player)
Dennis Rodman (former NBA basketball player)
Mary Jo Fernandez, a top women's tennis professional

Have the coach speak with a certified asthma educator and ask his or her opinion about you playing hockey. Good luck.

Answer 6

You don't. I have asthma myself. But it's because I was born prematurely and my lungs never fully developed.

I thought I couldn't play sports either--because I'd always be winded and stuff. But I did. The way you can control it and still play, is if you get some Albuterol, Flo-Vent, Advair, and Singular medication.

I have Albuterol and Singular to help moderate my asthma symptoms. But since I'm also on a permenent regimen for blood-thinners, my oxygen levels aren't as strong as they used to be.

So I really have to pace myself on a lot of things.

I really dont know if u will b shocked or pleased by this reply...but if u can travel to india....every year in the month of july (prob around the 6th to 10th jul) they give a fish medicine in hyderabad(south). The medicine is basically put into the fish's mouth n you are made to swallow the live fish. This is very effective since i saw my mother n sis both cured. By what u said..i guess u just started showing symptoms....but trust me u wont have a sign of it once u take this medicine.

Answer 8

Honestly tell ur parents that an asthmatic told you that She (me) helped her asthma from physical activities.. honestly it doesnt work right away and u cant do alot at one time, u have to build up as in u have to do a little at first and then gradually pick up as until ur ready to do as much as u used to.... i wish u the best of luck :) :) :) :)

darlin, Asthma does not go away, it is managed. there is no cure for it. Talk to your coach, he can make suggestions on what you can do, to prevent an attack. Or talk to your doctor.
