Exercise and asthma

Many parents come to me to give them a medical certificate so that their asthmatic children can be exempted from PT and games.
Others ask for a medical certificate so that school bus can come at their doorstep and children do not have to undergo unnecessary exertion .
Science says that exercise or any exertion is a positive trigger in Asthmatic patient of any age and should be used for its benefit rather than with fear.
Patients of Asthma have even won the Olympics !
There should be a written protocol which every Asthma patient should follow. 5 to 15 minutes prior to exertion, exercise , dance , sports , aerobic activities , long lecture , debate etc Asthalin inhaler should be inhaled. with this up to 4hrs the activity will not be interrupted.Meanwhile exercise as a positive trigger has improved the oxygenation , perfusion , ventilation , dilatation and other lung functions.
Gradually Asthalin before exercise may not be needed at all.
In fact asthalin thus taken helps you get the benefits of exercise and pleasure of sports. Cheer up and stay outdoors , play and win asthma !
