Don't let asthma and allergic rhinitis stop you from doing physical activities that you love. For myself, it is mountaineering. Mt. Guiting-Guiting stands about 2058 meters above sea level (MASL) in Sibuyan Island, Romblon. With the popular 90° wall and knife's edge rock formation, it is rated as one of the most difficult mountains to trek in the Philippines. Having asthma, I found it harder to acclimate especially during the steep ascent to the summit. I could feel the thinning of oxygen every few meters of ascent. I had to slow down the pace compared to my other team members to allow my lungs to adjust to the thinning air. Thanks to Seretide, my controlled asthma did not stop me from climbing and I did not suffer from acute exacerbation. I also have chronic rhinosinusitis/ allergic rhinitis with bothersome symptoms. But with the aid of Avamys, in which my ENT temporarily recommended twice daily dosing for the duration of the climb, symptoms were negligible to none. With the help of world-class GSK @gsk products prescribed by my pulmonologist and ENT, I stayed in tip top condition to trek and I am proud to say "A Siga conquered Mt. Guiting-Guiting!" #WinAgainstAsthma #EasyLungs #AirWarriors #WalangMamiMissSaAvamys #PrimaryCare #Siga #reversetraverse #G2Ready #G2 #GuitingGuiting #SibuyanIsland #MiMaRoPa #hiking #trekking #mountaineering #backpacking #greatoutdoors #adventuretrip #milestoneachieved #knifesedge #NinetyDegreeWall #patienttestimony (at Mt.
