Ask Kimberly

Q: Kimberly, what kind of exercises are good for people with asthma? I want to exercise, but I am afraid it might trigger an attack.

- Cautious

A: I'm glad you thought to ask, because knowing how to keep your asthma under control is so important! Make sure to ask your doctor next because it's also important to get clearance - and to understand precisely what triggers your asthma attacks.

Exercise is a trigger for some people and not for others. Your asthma might be triggered by smoke, pets, pollen, dust mites, mold or something else. If exercise is not your trigger, get your doctor's blessing, then have fun finding an activity that you enjoy.
