Re: My asthma has resurfaced!!!!

Jay, welcome to the group!

Are you getting plenty of exercise? If your lung specialist says

you're getting enough air but you still feel like you can't take a

deep breath, you could have a capacity issue that stems from

something else. I have some friends who don't have asthma or an

underlying medical issue who say they can breathe more deeply after

they visit the chiropractor. You may want to have a discussion with

your GP and see what recommendations he/she has.

Just thinking out loud. Good luck to you.
