Breathing issues/asthma and swimming

So, things are getting worse. Now, every workout my breathing goes through the roof. I can mostly do the workout, but when I stop an interval, the wheezing is very loud and stops me for a few seconds.

Saturday I did a 2 hour coached spin session, and I could just not do the harder efforts. Today, at the swim, in a lousy pool, I had to stop after the warm-up. We had Time Trials afterwards. The swimming seems to affect me the worst.

Up till yesterday, I was also taking the Ventolin wrong. Did not know I was supposed to take it 15-30 minutes before the workout. I was taking it right before I start the workouts, thinking it was necessary so that the effect would last the whole workout.
My Doctor has prescribed Ciclesonide (Alvesco) but wants me to wait till after the 9th when I do the Methacholine Challenge.
So, a few more days :wink:
