Try pursed-lip breathing:  Breathe in, then breathe out through purse lips, as if you were going to whistle.  Breathe out forcefully as if trying to inflate a balloon, this causes a back-pressure that allows the airways to remain open wider and longer, then breathe in QUICKLY and deeply to fill the airways, gently hold your breath 3-4 seconds, then relax and exhale. Repeat several times if needed. Pulmonary rehab might help you, but beware because if your inhalers don't give any or much relief, then you could have a lung condition other than what has been diagnosed.  I have first hand knowledge of someone who got a second opinion after three years of thinking she had asthma and emphysema, during which the disease worsened.

Sitting in a steamy restroom is good for asthma. It works like a humidifier and opens up the airway passage.

My son asked his doctor the same question so I'll tell you what the Dr explained to him (keep in mind he was 8 at the time). ** When you breath air into your lungs and there is something in the air that doesn't agree with the little trees inside the lung your lungs will swell to prevent entry. That is what makes it hard for you to breath. You use your inhaler to help settle the little trees or to protect them so your lungs will open and allow air to enter. If you don't use your inhaler then you will not be able to get enough oxygen in your body which is used in your blood & brain (lack of O2 to the brain is what caused you to black out or get dizzy) to survive successfully. If you don't allow enough in your system then your breathing will get harder & you will then need to come into the hospital to be put on a machine to help reduce the swelling in your lungs untill your body has enough O2 again. ** If your inhaler doesn't help much or at all inquire about an inhaler called Pulmicort. You will take it once daily and it helps the inhaler to work better. Since my son (now 14) started using it he hasn't had an episode bad enough to go to the hospital. But since he knows when he has an increased chances of an episode he begins using it prior to the allergy season that effects him... Asthma isn't fun and I'm glad I only have one child that has the problem.

Monitor weight, don't smoke.  Swimming is a great exercise to improve the cardiovascular system.  Take medication if you have asthma -- stay away from attack-triggers.

If you're not sweating and you don't feel like your lungs are working hard you are probably not doing enough. You would be better off working out for 30 minutes at a higher intensity. Every body is different and I can't tell you what is going to work for YOU, but bottom line is you need to listen to your body. I would try maybe running, either on a treadmill or just on the street, and make sure you are working at a level appropraiate for you. Ignore the machine's readings. People get too caught up in that and they are so general. You need to raise your body temp enough to break a sweat and you need to be breathing hard enough that you can still carry on a conversation but feel like you would rather not. That's the rule that I use and it works for me.

Get some WD40 and spray em down if they are squeeking or or not moving so well.  Get em moving again and work out the gunk with a rag.

there's something called black seed oil.It's basically the oil extracted from black jeera seeds and it works well for respiratory problems and bronchitis. You have to drink half a spoon of it with half a cup of warm water in the night when you feel like you need it and also rub some on your chest and back. The oil also has numerous other health benefits. You can do a google search on it. \nalso, practising pranayama every morning will help.

my boss showed me this trick and it's worked for me. inhale as much as you can and hold it for 10 seconds. then after the 10 seconds, take 3 more rapid inhales. that should do the trick. good luck

I have a friend who had asthma when he was five or something, then it stoped, and ever since then till now he has been the best athlete in the school never has breathing problems and never uses an inhaler, he is now 17. So i gues it might kinof depend on how helthy your lungs are, like try doing exercises, they help strenghten your lungs.

a good work out or just a walk around the block.  Fresh air is the best cure.

That says that you had a good workout.  You may expand your lung capacity by taking long deep breaths and hold as you perform light exercises....
