I've had asthma all my life, and really strenuous exercise is one of the triggers. Weirdly, regular slightly less than strenuous exercise has enabled me to keep it under control. For example I was a bit wheezy this evening, so went for a gentle ride to the swimming pool, did a pretty strenuous swim session and rode home with no sign of it.
I also use a preventative inhaler, go to an asthma nurse every few months for a check up, and carry a reliever with me just in case.
In the past I have had serious attacks, leading to hospital stays with a nebuliser. They were terrifying and a real motivator to get on top of it.
