Doc, i'm a girl with 55kg weight and
156cm tall. I'm also an ashtmatic person.
My asthma become seriously in past 2
years and I had to take ventolin spray.
Before my asthma problem in bad situation,
my weight was 48 kg maximum and 44kg
minimum. And for your information, my
weight was not affected no matter how
much I ate before this. But after taking
ventolin, my weight started to gain. What
matters to me is,it seems like I have big
tummy. I really don't like it and I don't
know how to make it fit back. My question
is does the ventolin spray gives effect on
my weight and how to make my tummy fit?
Help me doc.

First understand I am not a Dr.
I do wonder how old you are & whether
you might be going through teen years body
shape/hormonal changes which might be at
least part of the problem?
I'm sure (my son had childhood asthma)
that there are many different types of
asthma medications & perhaps you
should talk to your dr about trying a
different one? There are I have been told
also some apparently excellent alternative
(natural) remedies available for asthma
too??).
As to your tummy - do you do any sports?
Has the change in your asthma situation
caused you to give up any sports?
Stopping could be the problem & also
not doing - so if either applies perhaps
there's some sport or even exercises
(yoga/pilates?) that might help tone your
tummy muscles.
Good luck

When I said other asthma medications, I
didn't mean pills I meant sprays etc other
than ventolin. Alternative medicines
(lime homeopathy or naturopathy might be
of interest since you prefer a healthier
approach?).
Here in australia many of our top gold
medal winning swimmers took up swimming
because itr helped their lungs so that
might also be worth a go & wouldn't
hurt the tummy either!!
Not pills, pilates it's similar to yoga
which is just well look them up but very
healthy er both yoga & possibly that
tummy.
