Asthma: Don't Hold Your Breath
Asthma is a chronic condition, but it doesn't rule you out of the donor pool automatically.
The Green Light
You can donate if:
- You feel well today (no wheezing).
- You use a maintenance inhaler (steroid/bronchodilator).
The Red Light
You must wait if:
- You had an attack or took oral steroid pills (Prednisone) in the last 14 days.
- You have difficulty breathing at rest.
