It's pretty rare for a competitive athlete to have a PE let alone bilateral PEs. But, the treatment for PEs would be anticoagulants and thrombolytics. I just checked the WADW list of prohibited substances and didn't see either on the list. So what medications are you taking for PEs that require a therapeutic use exemption?
You're right. It is indeed pretty rare. Unfortunately I was genetically predisposed to it. Blood thinners are anything but performance enhancing, especially at altitude. However, Inhalers are, especially when abused. They do require a TUE. cheers.
