Hi, @walisky - That would be a huge relief to see your husband not have to go to the ER for breathing problems anymore. That would be scary.

My teenage son has exercise-induced asthma, and he uses a different treatment, albuterol, a short-acting beta agonists (SABA), before something more vigorous like a hike, a swim team practice or swim meet. This explains it in the Treatment/Pre-exercise medicines section of this Mayo Clinic article, though I realize this may be familiar to you:

- Exercise-induced asthma https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/exercise-induced-asthma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20372306

Your husband must have a different method of controlling his exercise-induced asthma, then, in the long-term control category.

@merpreb - are you still taking the fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium and vilanterol (Trelegy) inhaler? Is it still helping with exercise-induced asthma?

@clipper - are the montelukast (Singulair) and the albuterol still working to keep your exercise-induced asthma under control?
