I dont suffer from asthma but I bet losing weight would definitely affect your asthma. I could be wrong though. Just makes sense to me that the less weight you are carrying around, then your lungs dont have to work as hard.

I have allergies, but not asthma. I've lived in western Oregon for two years now, and my allergy symptoms haven't improved with weight loss. During the spring and early summer I used Claritin and Patanol and followed all the tips for reducing allergy symptoms (showering at night, not opening windows, etc.), which helped a lot.
