Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have 18 years history of asthma and I started bodybuilding 2 years ago. 4 months ago, I had an attack that was initially mild but progressively worsened despite treatment. I experienced just wheezing and chest tightness. I had to be nebulized and placed on ceftriaxone for 2 days. Wheezing cleared on treatment but chest tightness remained until after two weeks post treatment. I have a new episode now but no wheezing this time, only chest tightness and it has lasted a month now despite regular use of my inhalers. I have stopped training in the gym for over a week now.
1. What condition is this and what should I do?? 2. Could bodybuilding be a cause?? Should I stop bodybuilding totally??
