do you have a peak flow meter at home? If not you could buy one and check your readings. http://www.peakflow.com/top_nav/norm...ues/index.html I did this as I had asthma as a child and wasn't sure. But I'm well within the limits.

RITZER82,
Sorry if I hijack the thread for just a moment or two, and I'm going to be flamed by the medically qualified replies anyway, so here's a statement and a question......
I know several people with mild asthma, and their breathing and general condition always IMPROVES with increasing altitude, i.e. in flight.
Why is it so?
It's contrary to what would seem logical, but something that I have commonly observed.
