I had asthma with active symptoms back from when I was 6 years old to the age of 12. Took some heavy medication for it and I believe due to that I havent needed to take any medication for it nor had any symptoms for nearly 7 years now.

Asthmatic seizures are definetly nothing to joke about. I personally had around 3 of the more serious type of seizures, but never got hospitalized because of them, even though I was hospitalized for testing and treatment on a few occasions.

From what Ive gathered the early diagnosis and treatment of asthma play a key role in minimizing it's effects. A lot of physical excercise never hurt either.

Does e.g. the US Army test recruits for asthma? In a hypotethical situation would what I mentioned above be a disqualifier for attending SFAS/SFQC?

PS. Every person who has asthma should always keep the seizure medication with him/her.

Thank you for your time and answers. If my post was inappropriate then feel free to remove it.

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry for being stupid. A disqualifier it is.
