It sounds like your respiratory illness is exacerbating your asthma. I would advise caution in running if you are coughing to the point that you cannot talk for a full hour. You may be hypoxic. Give the albuterol time to work, you may need to use it several times a day per your prescription. Also, if you get better and the cough doesn't go away, you may need a steroid inhaler as well. One caveat, if you have moderate or severe asthma, don't risk it until you have better control of your asthma, because you could have serious bronchospasm and mucus production and could be in a world of hurt, possibly risking a respiratory event.

Been there, done that! Noooooo fun!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

yeah. I usually do that as well, but didn't want to recommend it.dmw wrote:i agree... the blue box variety of mucinex works really well... esp. if you double the recommended dosage (seriously)
But you gotta drink tons of water with it. And beware of too much mucinex + decongestants can cause constipation.
