asthma and weight gain
by laurellie, Apr 19, 2007 12:00AM
My 10 1/2 yr old daughter was diagnosed with Exercise and Allergy induced Asthma and uses an Albuterol inhaler before exercise as well as she takes singular 1x at night. I have noticed in the last 6 months that she has put on excess weight (10-15 pounds)eventhough she maintains the same amount of exercise prior to her being diagnosed. Is there any correlation with the weight gain and the medication. I can't believe that the extra weight gain can be good for her diagnosis. Is there anything that I can do for her besides increase her activity. I am concerned because she was slightly overweight for her age to begin with.
