Hi Mary
My children suffer from asthma and I have helped them with qigong. you might be interested to look this up on the search. I think it was called helping asthma. Also the Buteyko method mentioned in this thread has been extremely useful for our kids and I recommend that you check out a practioner near you. I completely agree that it is no joke at all for those who suffer or those who care for them. I believe that SFQ would help you for this but my kids are too young to do it apart from the odd exercise that I suggest.
Good luck
Love,
Kev
