Do Whey Proteins Have Adverse Effects In Asthma Patients?
I am 21 years old and have been suffering from asthmatic wheezing for the past 5 years. I am typically underweight(height 5'7" and weight 54kg). Would the consumption of Whey Protein or any such body building supplement cause any adverse effects to my Asthma problem?

hello
thank you for contacting HCM.
there are no such adverse effects of whey protein supplements aparts from moderate drung interaction. are you taking any medication for asthma? if yes the you need to consult your treating doctor and tell him so that he can confirm if they are causing drug interaction. As asthma is allergy problem so i would also suggest you to rule out the cause of allergy (e.g dust, pollen, some food like egg, clothes, etc) and then prevent it. in this way the frequency of attack will decrease.
hope i have cleared your query. if you need to ask anything else then you are most welcome. else you can close the thread and rate it.
may you get well soon. thank you
