| Clinical symptoms and questionnaires may guide the diagnosis but have been found to be only a mediocre guide, often underdiagnosing and overdiagnosing the condition. An exercise challenge test will be performed in the Performance Center. If office testing is negative, Dr. Silberman will test your performance in the field. If you are a cyclist, he will test you out on the roads you ride on. If you are a swimmer, he will test you at your pool. If you are a skater, he will test you at your rink. Therapeutic Use Exemption forms for use of beta-2 agonists by inhalation and glucocorticosteroids by non-systemic routes can be filled out for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), otherwise you will TEST POSITIVE and be SUSPENDED. You will not achieve peak potential if you have untreated asthma. Untreated asthma is a serious health risk. |
