Today, I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. I wanted to be a cop. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML

Heaven knows I'm miserable now
Today, I found out at a routine check-up that I may have asthma. How it went unnoticed until now, I do not know. I guess the world just needed to come up with a new way to make me miserable. FML

Today, I went to the gym to run. I ended up at the hospital because i went into anaphylactic shock. Apparently I'm allergic to exercise now. FML

Today, I went running for the first time in a few months. I had what I thought was an asthma attack. When I got home, I realized that it was not asthma, but instead I have gained so much weight that my running bra restricted my breathing. FML

This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff

Thanks for your concern
Today, after running across London to catch my train, I collapsed, panting, into a seat across from a concerned elderly woman. She leaned over to ask whether I had my inhaler and I smiled and nodded. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm not asthmatic, just really unfit. FML

Today, an Air Force recruiter called me. I've been wanting to join the Air Force for 5 years now. After chatting on the phone with him for 10 minutes, I mentioned to him that I had asthma. He quickly told me I can't join any of the military branches, and to have a good day. FML

Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML

Today, I realized that my work life is far less stressful than my home life. I'm a cop. FML

Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML

Catching my breath
Today, I had an asthma attack while walking home with my friends. As I was struggling to breathe, they thought I was attention-seeking and left me on the floor. FML

You do realize being physcially fit and able to run long distances is a requirement to become a police officer. Succumbing to an asthma attack would be terrible in the line of duty. It is awful to hear about OP’s condition, but your comment is just ignorant lol.

You got lucky. Cops do heroic things 0.01% of the time and thing that gives them license to be arrogant, bullying pricks the other 99.99% of the time. You'd be surprised how many people hate cops.

I have it too. With proper medications you'll be fine. I'm physically active and very rarely have problems with catching breath

I also have asthma, but it got me in to see my favorite band - Weezer.
