Diving with chronic asthma, is it possible?
After my lungs failed recently I've been diagnosed as a chronic asthmatic, it's still early days but I was wondering if it's possible For me to return to diving if my condition is being successfully controlled with medication?
I do know that pressure can have an effect on drugs in your system, I'm currently on Seretide twice daily and Salbutamol as needed.

Thanks

I dove and swam regularly all throughout highschool and I have severe asthma. If you have an attack you just use your rescue inhaler.

Im assuming you meant SCUBA diving. This is one activity that is not recommended for asthmatics. If you are not confident in your condition and it appears that you are not by asking this question it would not be recommended.
