Asthma

[Zuko]

I would like to know, if there is any Officers out there that have Asthma? Also has it been a problem with you doing your job. Has your agency helped you with this problem or has your agency given you a problem because of you having Asthma?

Don't double post, I already answered this question in the other thread.

I've got asthma, and it sucks during a fight, but I'll usually use my inhaler in the car enroute if I think we're going to the ground. I was diagnosed after becoming a cop.

If you can pass the physical test to get hired then it shouldn't be a problem.

I just finished a 20 year career as a Sergeant on a medium sized City P.D. and have had asthma since I was a kid. It only bothered me a couple of times, but luckily I had my inhaler with me when I needed it. I am now starting a second career as a University cop, and so far so good. Both Agencies knew I have asthma and had no problem with it as long as it can be controlled with medication. The trick is to keep your medication level adequate to control the condition.
