About a month ago I had some really bad allergies. I thought it was no big deal and bought a bottle of Claritin to deal with it. As a result of my allergy symptoms (specifically the nasal congestion), I developed a horrible sinus infection. It was initially misdiagnosed as the common cold. As such, I didn't actually start taking the antibiotics that I needed until a week and a half in. As a result of this 2.5 week long bout with the sinus infection (exacerbated by allergies), my respiratory tract became so irritated that I developed mild asthma for the first time in my life.
Now that I'm more or less healthy, I'm having some mild shortness of breath. I've been told that you get used to this and that it's not a big deal. Nonetheless, I'm frustrated as Pan Ams are around the corner and my gas sucks. I'm sucking wind big time whenever I roll and my stamina is just not what it used to be. Anyone here have experience rolling with mild asthma? I'd appreciate any tips on how to deal with it.
