Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Physical exercise is good for health. There is a variant of asthma known as exercise induced asthma, if you get asthma attack during exercise, In that case you need to take bronchodilator medication before starting exercise, and you can do exercise depending on your strength. Consult your physician for dosage adjustme.t of medications during exacerbation of asthma attack.
hope this helps you.
Regards
