1 How can I prevent an asthma attack?
2.Will I still be able to participate in sports with
this medication?
Homework Answers
1) Exercise- induced asthma is the narrowing of the airways in the lungs which are triggered due to strenous exercises or physical activities leading to cause shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, coughing and fatigue feeling during or after exercises.
Taking Cromolyn sodium medication 10-15 minutes prior to activity can help in prevention of an asthma attack.
2) Yes, you will have to be careful and watch how you are feeling throughout practices and games, in case you need to use your emergency Inhaler. But if you take the medication correctly you should be able to play sports without trouble.
