Asthma control

[icowden]

There isn't unfortunately, or at least not one I've found. Breathing in cold air through the mouth rather than the nose seems to trigger mine and, living in the hills, it's not always possible to ride everywhere without putting some effort in.

Snap!! I'm the same. Luckily my asthma has been incredibly mild for the last 10-15 years.

The main "useful" thing I have found is the fact that I trained as a professional singer for many years so I naturally. breathe deeply from the diaphragm rather than from the chest. This means that if I do get a bit of an attack I'm still pulling in a fair amount of air. I'd definitely recommend breathing exercises but you do have to do them regularly over a significant period of time for them to be useful.
