Sex

If you're concerned about your asthma symptoms becoming worse during sex, you can control your symptoms as you would with any form of exercise.

This includes using your reliever inhaler (usually blue) immediately before having sex.

If you notice that your asthma symptoms are worse during sex, your asthma may not be as well controlled as it could be, and we would recommend a review of your asthma treatments and symptoms with your asthma nurse or doctor.
