I've had asthma since I was a kid. It was fairly severe when I was a kid, having to go to the hospital on a couple of occasions due to "attacks". In high school when I was decent shape, it seemed to get a little better, mainly only needing an albuterol or ventolin inhaler for sports.
Now, I rarely get any asthma attacks and only take a very rare puff on the inhaler (Albuterol). Mine are almost entirely related to my allergies now, as I don't get any symptoms to speak of when I exercise. Interestingly enough, even when my allergies are at their worst, when I exercise, both allergies and asthma seem to disappear for several hours during and after exercise.
I wear a mask when I mow the lawn now just to keep things under control and have a hard time keeping my wife off me because it makes me look so darn sexy.
