Now that is the least I would have when it's really bad I may have to take more. It is bloody scary when your airways are closing and can cause panic. However, if its as bad as I need just the 1200mg, there is no blooming way I'm doing any kind of strenuous exercise! It would actually be totally physically impossible.
It's colds and chest infections that set me off as well. The nurse said to have a max of 10 puffs of reliever during an attack. If that doesn't help call an ambulance.
