how can you tell if you have running induced asthma?

Answer 1

Symptoms usually begin about 5-20 minutes after beginning to exercise. The symptoms usually peak about 5-10 minutes after stopping exercise, then gradually diminish. The symptoms are often gone within an hour, but they may last longer. Symptoms include one or a combination of the following:

* Coughing

* Wheezing

* Chest tightness

* Chest pain

* Prolonged shortness of breath

* Extreme fatigue

Answer 2

You also need to do a peak flow test- if you peak flow is much higher before you start running than after, you could hvae it as well. Exercise induced asthma is just that- it only flares up upon physical exertion. you need to go to the doctor, not necesarily a pulmonologist. Even your family doctor can help diagnose you. Also, air temperature can have a big impact on this as well. If it is very cold outside you are more prone to breathing problems than if it is wamr. Same with humidity. If you start running and start having a burning feeling in your chest, a feeling that you can't move air, and you are wheezing, you could have asthma or you could also be coming down with a respiratory infection. Also, you may want to see an ear nose and throat doctor. It could be related to seasonal allergies.

Answer 3

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.

I cured my Asthma the natural way?

Answer 4

Exercise-induced asthma is pretty obvious... but if you're questioning whether it's asthma or just "being out of breath" then visit a pulmonologist for testing.

Answer 5
