First understand I am not a Dr.

I do wonder how old you are & whether you might be going through teen years body shape/hormonal changes which might be at least part of the problem?

I'm sure (my son had childhood asthma) that there are many different types of asthma medications & perhaps you should talk to your dr about trying a different one? There are I have been told also some apparently excellent alternative (natural) remedies available for asthma too??).

As to your tummy - do you do any sports? Has the change in your asthma situation caused you to give up any sports? Stopping could be the problem & also not doing - so if either applies perhaps there's some sport or even exercises (yoga/pilates?) that might help tone your tummy muscles.

Good luck

I'm 22 years old student. After in serious asthma condition,i stopped my routine habits, jogging. Now, i'm back with the jogging routine and some exercises.But still my belly become bigger. I don't believe in pills and what ever it is except exercises.

When I said other asthma medications, I didn't mean pills I meant sprays etc other than ventolin. Alternative medicines (lime homeopathy or naturopathy might be of interest since you prefer a healthier approach?).

Here in australia many of our top gold medal winning swimmers took up swimming because itr helped their lungs so that might also be worth a go & wouldn't hurt the tummy either!!

Not pills, pilates it's similar to yoga which is just well look them up but very healthy er both yoga & possibly that tummy.

If you are also taking prednisone as an anti-inflammatory that can cause weight gain. Ventolin can also cause your blood sugar to rise which means your bodies cells are not able to get the energy they need so you end up feeling hungier more often. A low glycemic diet can help with this. There is plenty of info on the web about this. Juat google it. Exercise is indeed one of the best things you can do for your asthma and your weight. Start out slow and increase the effort gradually.

This is interesting. I am frustrated because people and doctors have commented on my son's weight. He has chronic asthma but is very active and eats healthy. I admit, I have done some major changes to his diet like cutting out fast foods, eating sweets and junk way less. However, his belly pertrudes out somewhat as if he is a couch potato eating junk all day. He is a little taller than the average in his age range. However, I don't understand the pudgy stomach. A doctor seem to make the comment that his back being slightly curved may have something to do with it but listening to what has been said makes me think I need to look into all the medicines he is on although his doctor's claim the medicines will not contribute to weight gain. But how else you explain my son's weight when he exercise at least 2 1/2 hours a day. Well, he does use the inhaler in-between but he loves to exercise and play sports.
