Airway remodeling, a pathological feature of chronic asthma, is a significant aspect of the disease process. It involves the remodeling of the airways in the lungs, which are delicate and vulnerable to damage over a human lifespan. Researchers first recognized airway remodeling in asthmatics in 1922 and linked it with severe asthma in the early 1990s. Evidence of airway wall remodelling has been observed in both asthmatic and non-asthmatic cough, such as an increase in sub-basement membrane thickness. Chronic cough in interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes significant impairment in quality of life, and effective treatment approaches are needed for cough associated with ILD.
In this review, three integrated and dynamic processes in airway remodeling are explored: initiation by epithelial cells; amplification by immune cells; and alterations in airway wall thickness. Chronic cough may be a result of asthma and non-asthma causes, but it is unclear whether there are specific inflammatory or remodeling changes. Tightened airway muscles, inflamed airway linings, and too much mucus cause asthma symptoms like coughing and wheezing.
The structural changes of the airways associated with asthma, also known as airway remodeling, are a pathological feature of chronic asthma that contributes to the clinical manifestations of the disease. The relationship between airway remodeling and symptoms in both asthmatic and non-asthmatic coughers is discussed, with the aim of understanding the mechanisms behind these changes and developing effective treatment approaches.

Is lung fibrosis reversible?
Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disease with no cure and can lead to death. It can worsen quickly or slowly over time, with newer medications potentially slowing its progression. While pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not the same, they share some similarities in terms of lung disease progression and difficulty breathing. Both conditions can affect the lungs differently, and research is focused on improving therapies to slow their progression. Both conditions can make breathing difficult, but they are not the same.
Why do my lungs keep making me cough?
Chronic cough, a common condition, can be caused by asthma, postnasal drip, and acid reflux. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and if the cough lasts more than two months or four weeks, it should be referred to a healthcare provider. A physical examination and symptoms are used to diagnose the condition, and diagnostic tests may include lab tests to detect bacteria or inflammation, lung function tests like spirometry, and imaging tests like chest X-rays, CT, and MRI scans. Treatment depends on the underlying health condition and a tailored treatment plan is discussed with the patient’s healthcare provider.
How to stop lung fibrosis cough?
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic condition characterized by coughing, which can be triggered by various factors such as talking, eating, laughing, or exercising. To manage PF symptoms and side effects, it is essential to seek help from a palliative care specialist who can provide personalized strategies. Common PF side effects include shortness of breath, which can be managed with medication, breathing techniques, and staying active through pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
It is crucial to distinguish between PF-related cough and other well-known causes of cough, such as GERD, post-nasal drip, and asthma. It is essential to seek medical advice and stay active to manage these symptoms effectively. It is also essential to stay informed about the available medications and techniques for managing PF symptoms.
How do you tell if you have airway remodeling?
Airway remodeling is a condition where airway membranes thicken, larger muscles and mucus glands grow, and scar tissue under the airway lining grows, narrowing the airways and causing asthma symptoms. However, the exact definition of this condition and its impact on asthma patients remain unclear. Researchers are exploring the link between asthma severity and airway remodeling, as well as if remodeling is responsible for the exaggerated response to asthma triggers and lower lung function. Further research is needed to understand the early stages of remodeling, its development over time, and if treatment can prevent or reduce symptoms.
Why do I keep coughing but I’m not sick?
A chronic cough, defined as persistent coughing, may have a variety of underlying causes. These include allergies, exposure to air pollutants, underlying health conditions such as COPD or GERD, and respiratory tract infections. It is imperative to seek medical attention if symptoms persist for a period exceeding two months, as only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose and recommend an appropriate course of action for a persistent cough.
What does airway remodeling feel like?
Asthma symptoms are caused by tightened airway muscles, inflamed airway linings, and excessive mucus. Asthma medications typically reverse this process, allowing airway muscles to relax and mucus glands to produce less mucus. However, for a small number of asthma patients, airway swelling over time can lead to airway remodeling, resulting in thickened membranes, larger muscles, and scar tissue under the airway lining.
The exact definition of airway remodeling and its impact on asthma patients remain unclear. Researchers are exploring the connection between asthma severity and airway remodeling, as well as its role in exaggerated lung responses to asthma triggers.
What is remodelling of the lung tissue?
Airway remodelling in the lung leads to reduced efficiency in airflow and gas exchange. This process involves various pathophysiological features such as epithelial alterations, mucus overproduction, increased ASM mass, abnormal ECM protein deposition, and vascular changes. These changes can be attributed to various factors such as alterations in mucus production, abnormal deposition of ECM proteins, and vascular changes.
Does lung scarring cause coughing?
Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition characterized by shortness of breath, dry cough, extreme tiredness, weight loss, aching muscles and joints, and clubbing. The severity and speed of the disease can vary greatly from person to person. Some people experience severe symptoms quickly, while others have moderate symptoms that worsen slowly over months or years. An acute exacerbation, especially in idiopathic fibrosis, can suddenly worsen shortness of breath over a few weeks or days, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. The cause of this exacerbation is usually unknown.
What are the characteristics of airway remodeling?
Airway remodeling is characterized by subepithelial fibrosis, an increase in mucous cell numbers and volume in the epithelium, augmented airway smooth muscle, and elevated vascularization of the airway wall.
What changes may be seen with lung remodeling?
Airway remodeling in asthma is linked to poor clinical outcomes due to the thickening of airway walls, leading to airway narrowing, bronchial hyper-responsiveness, airway edema, and mucous hypersecretion. This remodeling is influenced by the thickness of the reticular basement membrane and subepithelial fibrosis in the bronchi of asthmatic patients. Research has shown that these remodeling changes can contribute to bronchial hyper-responsiveness, airway edema, and mucous hypersecretion. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between airway remodeling and asthma.
What are the consequences of airway Remodelling?
Airway remodelling can lead to increased airway pressure, fixed airflow obstruction, and irreversible lung function loss. The mechanisms regulating these changes and their order remain poorly understood. The study uses cookies and acknowledges the use of these cookies. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.

📹 Asthma, Vitamin D and Remodeling of the Lung
I believe vitamin D is the most important vitamin for asthma. Here’s why. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19906117/ …
Yep Dr Berg is 100% right! My son suffered with asthma was in and out of intensive care a few years ago. I read up up vitamin d 3, had his bloods done he was deficient in vitamin d. I started him on vitamin d a high dose I also give him some vitamin c too. He’s’ been right ever since. When he starts to have a very mild attack I know he’s levels are low I start him back on them and he’s good to go. Dr Berg knows his stuff!!
Started D3K2 in early 2019; amazed by results. I was recovering from winter virus into March, when prescribed 2 inhalers. However, had started D3K2 and in just 2-3 weeks was so much better and continued improving my asthma, I never used the inhalers. In about 2011 was told alveoli were collapsing & doctors didn’t know why; liver enzymes were so high they wanted to know if I drank. That was not at all the problem. After learning from Dr Berg, I realized the problem was fatty liver due to my “healthy” diet: farmed salmon, 2 servings of basmati rice, salad dressings, etc. I had gone from size 8 to size 16 in 8 years, post menopausal. (I suspect – they did an ultra sound but I wasn’t able to follow up on it.) I did keto diet poorly (but stayed off sugars & grains) in winter 2018-2019 & today in Nov 2021 am still size small, stretch jeans size 8-10. Thanks, Dr Berg!
My asthma/reactive airway has gotten so bad over the last two years as my diet was not that great and I had gained 20 pounds. I probably got COVID last February which made it worse. My Vitamin D was low too. I was on Zyrtec, Flonase, Singular, and a rescue inhaler. After two months on keto, I don’t need the singular or inhaler anymore. I still have mild allergies and take the Zyrtec and Flonase. I’ve increased the Vitamin D. Thanks for the specific recommendation on how much Vitamin D to take.
Hello Dr. Berg. I am not the type to typically leave public comments but I thought I would do an exception today. I really want to thank you for your articles which have been truly eye opening for a person like me, who suffers from asthma and allergies. I live in a Nordic country, and here the resources in heath care are very limited so patients have to become experts in their conditions and learn to handle them alone, after maximum two doctors appointments. I think your doing very important work by spreading your knowledge and helping people who have otherwise limited access to medicinal advice. Keep up the good work, and all the best to you Doctor!
Yes, vitamin D worked wonders in alleviating my severe asthma issues. I took a combination of D (20000 IU) and K2 (200 mcg). To enhance the benefits, I incorporated mullein tea and black seed oil into my routine. Additionally, for my allergies, I used quercetin and bromelain. Addressing GERD is crucial in managing asthma, and adopting a healthy diet along with intermittent fasting has proven beneficial. I’m sharing my personal experience, hoping it might be helpful for others as well. Moreover, nasal breathing is crucial, and engaging in running can also be beneficial.
I was having a very difficult day breathing yesterday. It was scary. My asthma has been very bad the last few months. I was taking 3x amount of meds with no relief. Yesterday I saw this article. I upped my D3 to 20,000 with 300 K2 and 1200 NAC. 12 hours later I was breathing so much easier, close to normal. I woke up today breathing much easier. Thank you Dr. Berg. You are a life saver.❤
Now I see why if I stop taking Cod Liver Oil for weeks – my asthma comes back.the Cod liver oil I bought has Vitamin D in it plus other nutrients. I notice if Im having asthma & I take cod liver oil that day – my breathing is better & my chest less tight. Never realised that the cod liver oil I consumed was helping my respitory issues
Good article. I had a wheeze when I would exhale and when I started 10,000 international units of vitamin D it completely went away and I feel like I’m breathing through a large pipe most of the time. Before I was always taking 2000 to 4000 international units of vitamin D but I never noticed any change in my lung function.
Can you do a article on cortisol and asthma and / or allergies? I’ve been taking 10,000 iu’s of vitamin D3,high potency vitamin C, and liposomal glutathione, and just added K2. I also started taking MSM just last week. My naturopathic doctor recommended I take an adrenal supplement with cortisol, which I think is to prevent any need for use of corticosteroids. Can you help?
After one month of keto, I completely got rid of asthma, after suffering for more than 12 years with asthma and cortisone, which caused me many physical and psychological problems. Now I learned with you and created a website on YouTube to help people and share my experience with them. Perhaps someone has the same illnesses and does not know the treatment, he knows it through my website. Thank you Dr. Berg
Dr. My issue is of Acid Reflux and high platelets and burning sensation in Esophagus and blood coming out in the spittum early in the morning for the past 20 years but I have decided not to got Modern Doctors because I feel they hardly know their own medicine, let alone a 5 minutes appointment to know the real cause. Also, there is huge Phlegm load in the Esophagus and sometimes it is evident. When I have PPI Medicine, my platelets goes down drastically. One alternative doctor told me that it could be due to bacteria. I have had H. Pylori and even Chicken Pod and then after 25 years Herpes Zoster. Inside of Inside I have a strong feeling that this is due to some bacteria. I have been diagnosed with Entamoeba Histolytica which the doctor said that I am not in food industry not given any medicine. Doctor, can you put a article, whether the above could be due to Bacterial Infection in blood stream.
Asthmatic here! It SUCKS but vitamin D, magnesium, Omega 3s, exercising and hydration are very important. I try to sun bathe at least 3 times a week and i still supplement. Water as my only source of hydration does not cut it for me. Coconut water is a lifesaver because of the trace minerals especially potassium. Asthma meds deplete your potassium. I have been in the hospital a few times because my levels dropped. Asthmatics please do mild exercise its IMPORTANT. That is where i am struggling right now i dont have the drive but i push myself. Walk dance just move! Thank you Dr. Berg keep blessing us with your knowledge.
This is so true! I have had terrible asthma growing up. I had the worst wheezing and coughing during school gym class and I was prone to getting pneumonia pretty frequently. It was last year that I started supplementing vitamin D and noticed my breathing is far better. I could play soccer for 3 hours a day during the summer and not get tired.
I have read s many other articles that say that 4000 IU’s is the maximum dosage of D hat should be taken…but you recommend 20,000 IU’s???? We both take 2,000 IU’s a day. My husband has asthma but I don’t want any toxicity to occur!!! Cab you explain this in another article with maybe some science to back it up.
It is interesting that you mention the connection between Vitamin D and asthma. Growing up, I always observed my friends who liked to say in doors a lot, and hence were the least likely to get vitamin D, were also the ones who were asthmatic. I always assumed it was, because they were asthmatic, they did not like to do physical activities outdoors. I never thought that the direction of causality could be in the reverse direction, in that it was their reluctance to go outside which could be contributing to their asthma.
Was in icu in induced coma from an asthma attack 2 years ago I always go the supplement root where ever possible for my health but cant find anything to ease an asthma attack like an inhaler can .I have taken vitamin d3 before and will try again to see if I notice an improvement thank you for the advice
Greetings. Totally gonna buy the D3 K2 from you. Could you please put a bundle together for COPD? I was looking at your bundles. Great idea. After perusal all your lung articles with many good suggestions for supplements, i find myself needing a COPD bundle to make the shopping easier and take the guesswork out of it for me. It’s a lot to consider and worry about. Trusted sources, amounts, timings… Please, help!
My daughter is 6, and she was diagnosed with asthma 2 years ago. She had taken ventolin and flovent, in crisis nebulizer. Last may I read more about asthma and low carb diet, so I decided to introduce my daughter to in. (Since then she hasn’t had any crisis) Then in August she had check up with her pediatrician and he found my girl’s lungs stronger and better, so she doesn’t need more medicine, just if she has a crisis. 😁❤🙏
“Walk With Me” Kim Walker Smith/Jesus Culture lyrics = Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your (c)body And refreshment to your bones. Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ “
We are not sure what’s going on with my lungs. I am asthmatic now tho. My question is this, Any time I’ve tried to take vitamin E and or supplements with Vit E and zinc together I have trouble breathing. The first couple times I thought it can’t be vitamins. However, now I’m sure. Any ideas why? Thanks for the tip about Vit D!
I just wish there was a cheaper way to get vitamin D Cod liver is so expensive ever since the people selling it realised there was a big demand due to health reasons Although sitting directly in the morning sun is said to give enough vitamin D such that you don’t need to take it orally, I live in a very cloudy place so in the mornings there is no direct sunlight
Doc, 20,000iu for daily consumption, is it not too much? I thought that 2,000iu is the maximum dose for taking Vit D as supplement. Because some people with (allergic) asthma will have to live with it throughout their life and thus need to take Vit D as daily supplement, and should not take it as “medicine” (high dose) for long term period. Please advice. Thank you 🙏🙏
I developed weird adult-onset asthma symptoms from acid reflux. Blood results showed that my vitamin D levels were borderline along with ferritin/iron levels. Ahhhh 🥲🥲 Diet changes make the breathing difficulties go away and they haven’t found any “permanent” damage to the lungs so far (due to lung function testing CT’s). I will definitely start implementing better eating habits and vitamin D.
Dr. Eric Berg, please make a article how much vit D, vit K and fish oil combination to give to a cat to recover from Asthma. Started from 200 IU vit D3, 10mcg vit K2 and 100mg omega 3 in form of unflavored cod liver oil Nordic Natural brand (0.5 ml) + concentrated omega3 to bring 0.5 ml of cod liver oil to 100mh of omega. – and that is twice a day for 3 week, will do blood test after that. Couldn’t fined a vet who does vit D tests, so had to order online from VDI Direct.
So interesting, I recently developed asthma out of the blue at 20 years old and up to until 22. Recently got my blood work done and turned out my vitamin D levels were extremely low. I suppose as I got older I had less exposure to sun than I did as a kid always playing outside. Got prescribed an inhaler for the first time in my life and hated it. But after my blood work my doctor told me to take vitamin D supplements and I haven’t had an ounce of wheezing nor needed my inhaler. The human body is so fascinating.
Dr. Berg thank you so much for your unconditional service to our mankind. Sir, it’s been 7 months am suffering from hyperacidity regurgitating. Not been able to eat and sleep, feeling am dying daily. My endoscopic biopsy says I have Brunner gland hyperplasia on gastric hetero topic tissue and moderative duodenitis with excessive gastric foveolar metaplasia, laryngopharyngal reflux. They also said I have ibs and Heamorrhoid stage 2 and uterus fibroid. Above all this, my thyroid FNAC shows cytological atypia seen on my right lobe with tiraids 4. The worse thing is none of the ppi helps me, am struggling more. I want anyone to help me get back to my normal life. In precise, I want to live more. Please save me.
Your inputs are hugely beneficial to our daily lives. I’ve always been interested in “health management” as a young boy, I wanted to be a doctor BACK IN THOSE DAYS (I’m 74 starting 75 now), it was tough to be accepted to medical school in Southern Africa. However, my fascination “health management” vs “disease management” has consumed my “healthiness”. Your presentation are so illuminating. Thank you
I’m in UK 4 days ago, I had an appointment with a Consultant at a Respiratory Clinic. I wanted to discuss the serious side effects of taking a Steroid based inhaler. She ONLY wanted to tell me about why I should use another Steroid based inhaler…not interested in anything I was trying to explain Medical practice is all about DRUG Taking…nothing else
I have asthma but mainly suffer when I have a respiratory virus or flu. I take vitamin D already for my joint pain, normally 5000 I.u. A day. Occasionally I’ll take 10,000 especially in the winter. My doctor saw my level go up over 100 (he recommended around 80). Sorry I’m not sure what unit of measurement this is. So he had me reduce back to 5000. I’m a little skeptical of taking more but am curious how this would help both my lungs and joints. Please anyone comment ❤
Wow! I took care of my asthma by taking 10k units of Vitamin D daily during allergy season along with daily NAC. Been doing this since 2012. Only occasionally get coughing or wheezing now. 20k units a day during a flare or everyday forever. Be nice to know cos that’s a lot of vitamin d. My last test was around 40.Would like to get it up to 50+ but have been unable to despite an already high dose daily.

Water for Health, for Healing, for Life (You are not sick, you are thirsty) by Dr Batmanghelidhj. “Your body many cries for water (You are not sick, you are thirsty) by Dr Batmanghelidhj is no longer available. Asthma is in the 2nd part of the article.
As always Dr Berg EXCELLENT article! I was just diagnosed with Bronchiectasis after suffering from Asthma since birth and it bothers me that not a single doctor out there actually tells you to take Vitamin D at all! In addition, a few weeks they found my Vitamin D was slightly lower than the lower health range so it is probably why I am getting these bacterial and viral infections all the time. My question do you Dr Berg is, should we take the 20,000 IU of Vitamin D in one single dose each day OR spread it out to 1,000 IU every 45 minutes for example? Thank you very much in advance Dr Berg! (I have recommended your website to my hundreds of contacts on Facebook and to my entire family and my circle of friends)
Hi Dr. I’m doing my best helping my mother with her illness, I’ve been doing a lot of research and I found you. I’ve been perusal your articles and I really admire you for so much knowledge and the way you explain. What would be your strategy for a person with colonized pseudomonas in her lungs, gerd and pulmonary fibrosis caused by esclerodermia? The bacteria is a very big issue at this moment, and she has had multiple flairs and pneumonia because of it.
I was in big trouble with copd with overlapping asmatha.. I started taking 20,000 iu D3 then a week later up it to 40,000 iu then a few days later went to 60,000 iu every day with k2… for 5 weeks now, feeling heaps better.. no predisalone for the 5 weeks and I was needing them far to much.. can’t believe it.
Last year my gyn checked my blood values and noticed that VitD was less than 10ng. Basically zero. She encouraged me to take supplements, including stronger doses, to build up my supply. This year I have a had a really horrible bronchitis, on and off for months (nocovid), but not once did it lead to Asthma. For me this is basically impossible. I always have Asthma with the slightest cold or flu. My whole life since early childhood have been dominated by asthma, including allergic asthma. Now I wonder what my lige would have been like if I had received VitD as a child. I am a city person, we mostly live and work indoors. Also trying to get a lot more sunshine, whenever I can. Thank you Dr. Berg for your excellent articles!
How can you take so much vitamin d? I tried taking just 5,000 for a different reason several years ago, and I think I got diarrhea. If I remember correctly even 1-2000 IU tablets did that. Is there another way to take it? Or is it one particular brand better than another? I sure wish I had heard this decades ago also before I started taking flovent (44mcg). I got a cataract in one of my eyes couple years ago, and only 55 years old at the time. My doctor said it’s probably because of that…
Hi Dr berg from India here i am suffering from Allergy sinitus from 2002 and Asthma from 2016. taking regular Foracort Rotocaps 200 and montelukast and levocetrizine. I want to get rid of this illeness as i was before very active but now i cant go outside and even everyday is like hell for me please help.
So grateful to receive this information regarding the use of Vitamin D( to help with my asthma, which I, 83 years old, have had for 30 plus years, due to mold in a home by the beach). I now live by the seaside in Greece and daily force myself to swim about 45 min. and stay in the sun at the beach for sometime, for about 6 months out of the year, and I notice that I can breathe much easier) I wonder what impact the sun and the breathing in of iodine from the sea has on my lungs vs. the vitamin D tablets. Thank you, Dr.Berg for the clear interpretation of asthma!
20k is a very high dose and should not he taken daily for a long time as it can be toxic. Have 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test every year and see where you are at and monitor trend. Standard range is 12 – 99 ng/mL. See where you are at. I’m in Chicago area and even with spending lots of time outside and taking 5k units per day I’m at 60 ng/mL. My wife was taking same for few years with less sun exposure and she was almost at the max and had to reduce her intake to 2k units.
Dr Berg please help, I cannot digest my food properly. I feel as if I am choking like I want to burp but the gas can’t release. I have to grasp for breathe sometimes. I don’t have my gallbladder anymore but I take a gall bladder support from pure encapsulated with dried ox bile plus other ingredients for digesting fatty food etc. But still I am having these stomach issues. From not digesting food properly, my blood sugar keep going up. So what can I do or take to help with this? Thankyou so much in advance!
I am an asthmatic who has been waiting for Dr Berg to shed light on this forever now thanks. As a smoker previously i have damaged my health even further. Which lead to abuse of corticosteroids like foracort. From prescribed 2 a day of 200 strength to taking 12 a day. It would be great if Dr Berg could talk about corticosteroids side affects at such doses. Though now I have quit smoking and am back to 2 doses a day. Also doing IF lost 20kgs but have missed out on D3 for ages now. Thanks again 🙂
How about of calfification? How long it can reach a toxic level? My daughter have asthma sense a toddler, her levels is around 60, but still have flare ups when have a cold. I read about zinc deficiency could great help most asthmatics. I’m on the search for better ways to treat without inhaler, so far only came across on things that can help: staying hydrated, vitamin C, vitamin E omega 3, vitamin D,A and breathing work
Dr please I am suffering from those symptoms and others more doctors could not diagnose the reasons behind my illness or even if it’s a type of Asthma or anything else a different lunges pathology.please my question is how can I know and distinguish myself wether it is asthma 100% or Not to see anything else? Could Sun help much better my situation of the shortest breath ever,rib cage tightness,lunges sounds and infections… I hope you will respond to me Dr THANK you
20k iu is too much. for some its ok, for others not. i’d always start like 2 weeks with 20k iu daily, then switch to 4k iu daily or 30k iu per week and after a few month check blood levels. target sould be for asthma 50ng/ml at minimum… at max 100ng/ml (nmol is ng * 2,5). so adjust your intake accordingly.
Dr. Eric, I have scarring of the pleura due to several thoracentheses. This lead to a restrictive pulmonary condition (the pleura is not as flexible as before so I can’t expand the lungs well. What would you recommend to help with this? My thoracic surgeon doesn’t have an answer, just to wait and see if it resolves by itself. There’s no medical solution to this (no Sx, no Tx, no Rx, not even respiratory pt can guarantee an provement).thanks
Dear Dr. Berg thank you so much for this valuable information that I was seeking for long. Can you please mention the Vitamin D IU for kids that should take every day. It would be as helpful as this article. Thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to know these hidden details. May Allah bless you with healthy and happy life.
My current asthma trigger is wearing a facemask for more than an hour, sometimes even less, which limits my time and amount of activities I can accomplish where masks are required. If I begin to experience symptoms before I can remove the mask, I become tired, unable to think or reason clearly and I am done for the day. Will Vitamin D help me under these circumstances Dr. Berg or do I continue to play this extreme time management game?
Doc, you changed my life with this article. I had severe asthma attacks for over 17 years, then I started supplementing with D3 and I can breathe like a normal human being during my workouts. I can also do intense cardio. The only thing left is the cough when I do intense cardio. Recently when I had a cough I took ventolin to see if there was any difference between naturally and with this medicine and there was no change in the way I was breathing. 0. (since last summer till this winter i did not took any asthma meds. just d3). Breathing was perfect so this cough must have some other remedy, however the good thing is I only have this cough if I breathe cold air while doing something intense. It must be intense enough to get the heart rate above 150 beats per minute. Doc, do you know what’s causing it ? why is it releated with heart beats ?
