A University in the north of England has a problem with its rowing clubs.
There has suddenly been an upsurge in the number of people within the boat
clubs suffering from asthma. They do not know whether the trigger is the river
itself ( cold at this time of year), or exercise in the cold early morning
air. They also have a problem assessing its seriousness in patients. They say
that, as atheletes have a higher than normal peak flow, the condition is not
so easily identified. They have rowers with a peak flow of 600+ who still need
steriods.
Does anyone have any relevant comments / experience with this type of
situation?
Thanks
Keith Foster
