@TAB doctors don't use standard testing for asthma, it's based on history and symptoms.
Carine? I'm in the Swan. Carine is a 45 minute drive from me. (City of Stirling).
There are plenty of aquatic centres closer, but I don't even own a bathing suit.

@TAB ha ha tabby I thought you were a perfer as well!
Yes swimming is apparently very good for asthma. I'm just not a fan of swimming.
Despite my spirit animal being a penguin I'm more like a cat when it comes to water.
My dad has COPD. He said it is from being in Vietnam but he was a long time smoker and mum said he had bad lungs before he joined the army. He's on oxygen 24/7 now apparently.
If an inhaler helps you that's good. It's awful being short of breath 🥰

Sounds like your primary school teacher spent too much time breathing in nail polish fumes when she was painting her nails in the 70's fashion of different colours. @TAB

Hei 👋🏼 @ENKELI Retiisi pin tyyny
good to read that you and your GP can share a chuckle 🤭 and that you have someone to give you cheek 😁 It's a sign of affection for many people lol.
I went to the Shed today. Binned a heap of rotten timber. Very satisfying 😊
Let’s have another go at life tomorrow.

@TAB swimming doesn’t cure asthma. It increases your fitness.
Alcohol contains two triggers that may make asthma worse: histamines and sulphites.
It’s not your lungs 🫁 It is the two bronchial tubes that go to each lung and the smaller passages called bronchioles.
During an asthma attack the muscles down the wall of your bronchial tube contract and the lining of the airways becomes swollen and inflamed, narrowing the airways.
The mucus membrane increases secretions this may block smaller airways.
I was an asthmatic all my life until I got laryngeal fold paralysis.
