I avoid the types of exercise that trigger mine.

No running, the bounce seems to be the trigger. Rowing machines, swimming, hiking, and weightlifting are fine even though I don't do them often enough.

When doing work I stay aware of the signs that it is likely to happen and change up before it kicks in. This took a long time to learn due to ADHD, but I have been able to stop at slow breathing for over a decade now.

Cold weather sometimes kicks it off, but loose fitting scarves work wonders. Too tight and restricted breathing will be worse than the cold air, but loose and high enough to break a cold wind works for me.

Took about 30 years with a rescue inhaler handy before I was comfortable with being able to notice the signs and just forgetting to get the prescription refilled.
