CORREIA Breno

General
ASTHMA
At age 15 he was diagnosed with asthma and allergic rhinitis. "It looked like my muscles got tired quickly, my legs, my arms. Besides, I reached the wall a little bit suffocated, not able to get some air. And it all increased as long as the training increased." The combination of water and chemicals with the effort of training provoked breathing problems, which made his parents consider whether he should continue in the sport. A doctor in Sao Paulo then treated him with breathing medication and inhalers and after six months he felt better. "I never wanted to quit. And since I began using the inhalers I felt much better at training. I was able to breathe better." (globoesporte.globo.com, 31 Dec 2018)
