I thought it was well controlled on medication?

Probably best he sees how out of breath he gets, and take it from there??

Depends how he feels, if he's ok with it and it doesn't strain his breathing I wouldn't have thought there be an issue.

Good luck and I'm sure you will support him

It unfortunately does stop people doing what they want to. I watch my dad daily deteriorating from this, to the point some days he can't make a brew because he's that bad.

I'd say continue as long as he can doing what he wants and enjoys, before the time comes he can't.

There are some operations on the NHS now which may be worth looking into, but you must fit the criteria exactly, and it's a long process.

Good luck to you both in controlling it xx

Depends on the extent of his shortness of breath. If taking the prescribed inhalers is allowing his to lead a fairly normal life then there is no reason why he shouldn’t play, but probably not if he is unwell at all as it will affect his breathing more.

Try to get him swimming it does help with the breathing and enjoy life while you can as it can only get worse x

British Lung Foundation run groups to learn more about it. I know people who attend "Breatheasy " groups locally.

But how it effects people is different, so depends on how he is. No reason why he can't play. Maybe having breaks, taking his time , sure if you just go steady that things will be fine
