Link between Asthma and HRT?

Watching a little story about this on the news tonight....anyone know if this is BS?

Not sure on what you are watching, but having been a severe asthmatic my whole life, and thus having read quite a bit of research on it, I have not come across such a tie-in. Though I would be interested to see it if it does exist.

Are they saying that asthmatics are more likely to need HRT? Based on experience and other things I have seen, I could see it, but I bet for different reasons than they are claiming.

More info please.

I believe they are claiming that HRT will lead to asthma occurance.

Ah okay nevermind it was for women, lol.

Saying that estrogen therapy leads to increase in occurance of asthma in some women.

That is interesting. I have seen studies where asthmatic men do have higher levels of estrogen. But usually are carrying a bit more bf% due to inability to engage in cardio type activities, leading to higher aromatization, etc.

Do you notice flare ups in your asthma when your on?

Seems like since estrogen is sometimes at higher levels while on cycle, it might affect someone who has had asthma their whole life.

Never, No flair ups on cycle at all, at least that I would relate to that. It can be brough on by things like intense cardio, but just because I did that on a cutting cycle, I wont lay the blame there. My estrogen levels are actually much lower on cycle due to the attention I give them to keep them that way. The first time I tried Letro, I got them too low in fact.

I dont think the connection is that simple, I think that it must be some long term effects.

Also, now that I am older, my asthma has pretty much been gotten under control. It is no where near as bad as it used to be and I am controlling it without daily maintenance drugs.
