Asthma & Diving

Asthma is a chronic disorder of the lungs in which there is a tendency for the muscles surrounding the bronchi (breathing tubes) to contract excessively. This causes a narrowing, or bronchoconstriction, with a resulting increase in breathing resistance, particularly during exhalation, which may manifest as wheezing, chest “tightness”, coughing or breathlessness. Learn about the effects of asthma and diving including the effects of asthma medication and diving, and how to determine if you’re fit to dive with asthma. This article is a stepping stone to help asthmatic divers try and manage this chronic disorder.

This has definitely given me hope. It’s good to hear that Asthmatics can SCUBA. Going to go see a dive physician to properly discuss this and work out a plan.
