Q: How to Build Exercise Stamina after Asthma Attack ?

Two days ago (Sunday) I had an asthma attack. Normally, the day after I feel as though I had a bad chest cold and very tired. Monday, the day after was also my first day of kick boxing class - "Yikes" was my first thought, but I have really wanted to set a goal for myself and do this. So, I went regardless of how I was feeling. The class was one hour long. I had to sit out a total of 10 minutes during this class. I felt so weak and stupid! But, I just couldn't catch my breath (as usual during any physical exercise). So, I went to the locker room and did my inhaler, big mistake, my heart was already pumping pretty hard and the inhaler made things worse - I felt like I was going to pass out and throw up. But, I sat out for about three minutes and went back and finsihed the class. The rest of the day, I was absolutely exhausted and had troubles getting deep breaths and couldn't even get a complete yawn. Today is Tuesday and I feel the same way. Tomorrow is another kickboxing day and the instructor told us it would be a normal class that monday was laid back - Shocked . Does anyone have any suggestions to work through this. I really want to build my stamina and become strong w/my breathing. For once I would like to complete a full class without having to sit out.

Hi!
The nature of stamina or endurance training depends upon the sport that has been chosen and it takes time and plan how to build it.
Before you even start to have regular exercises, you should be on proper medications first.
Are you practicing aerobic exercise( it improves airway function and has many other benefits )?
What kind of medicine you are taking?
Have you talked with your doctor about your problems while exercising?
You can ask your doctor for steroid inhaler or a cromoglycate inhaler, that can be beneficial for exercise induced asthma.

Hey there,
Please be careful with using the inhaler thru the game, you need to see an asthma specialist.. some countrys have these wonderful doctors that help the everyone poor, elderly, they have the knowledge and can do a total evaluation on your lungs, usually its threw the town univirsity or medical school Here in canda well we have to wait 3 months here.. democracy!
Kick boxing while ill is not a smart thing to do, sorry i am just going to say it.
you don't have all your senses working and that puts you are a greater disadvantage of being hurt.. You know once you hurt your sleve its forever, so be carefull and see a doctor go over your plan, keep peak flow and check out VCD VocalCord Dysfunction Try to calmly breathe in a quiet place and learn to chill
God Bless ww
