How will asthma impact my sex life?

William Berger (Allergist and Immunologist) gives expert video advice on: What lifestyle changes should I expect after an asthma diagnosis?; Can I stay active and exercise if I have asthma?; How will asthma impact my sex life?

I get many questions from people who have asthma, in terms of their ability to do physical activities, to exercise, and even questions as to whether sexual activity is allowable with people with asthma. I have had some patients who said that their partner was very turned on by the fact that they had trouble breathing during sexual activity and were very short of breath, but in fact, that's a danger sign. If people are having shortness of breath and tightness in their chest in sex or any other activity, it's important that you get it properly treated, so that you can even fulfill your potential to a greater degree than just being short of breath.
