Brilliant listen on #asthma, #breathingpatterndisorders & #EILO in running from @DrJohnDickinson & @tinamuir
Key messages (see thread)
🏃🏽‍♂️Athletes have ⬆️ airway irritation due to mechanical shift to mouth breathing during exercise ⬇️ air humidification & filtration.... (cont)
🦠 Plus, they’re often exposed to environments which are more irritable to the airway, e.g running in cold weather, dry air, pollution, pollen etc
🔄 Airways can react by constricting, making it difficult to breath out, resulting in symptoms such as breathless, wheeze or cough
🗣 Asthma should not be diagnosed purely on subjective symptoms. An objective test e.g. spirometry needs to be completed
💊If well controlled, asthma symptoms should be well managed. Taking your preventive inhaler is essential for this (Inhaled corticosteroid)
