How do you get rid of hay fever and a really severe form of exercise asthma?
my hay fever is throughout the year and i have totally had it. my asthma i've had for 12 years it hurts to do some stuff for p.e. that i don't like but i have to do anyway in order to get a good grade.
i also take zyrtec and flonase. my inhaler isn't strong enough. i take my inhaler to class too. they said i might have to get a steam mask but that thing is too heavy to take to school.

hayfever is caused by dust and fluff do you create any dust when you workout and the excersizes you do seems too much for the asthma,you are hurting your lungs with too much excersise,try slow motion p.e.and explain to your teacher about your hayfever and asthma,as you are only making yourself worse and not fitter.

Asthma is usually improved by regular exercise. But you have to plan for it. Use the inhaler right before PE class starts, even if you don't have an attack yet. Take it with you so you can use it again at the first sign of chest tightness.

Ask your doctor if there isn't something else s/he can give you such as a brief course of steroid inhaler until your asthma cools down a little bit.

Do you take something like claritin every day? If you have hay fever every day then you should. Ask your doc which one it should be, and get a nasal wash such as "Simply Saline" to keep your sinuses from getting infected because of the drying effect of antihistamines. Befriend the steam room of your local gym also. Ask mom to take you in because you might have an attack in there. Best to go with someone who can help if..

If you feel best right after your shower, consider investing in a Vicks personal steamer or just learn the trick of "steaming your head" over a pot of hot water or tea. This is very helpful in the winter when the humidity level drops.

Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a handkerchief and sniff it. Wierd, but it works.
