I had a soccer game today (I'm midfield and our team had 8 to their 11 players) and here's what happened:
- About 5-10 minutes into the game, I had shortness of breathe and heavy breathing
- Breathing through mouth a lot, spitting out some phlegm
- Drank a lot of water and sat down at half time which helped, also sneezed a bit
- Tried to breathe more through the nose and out through the mouth during second half which helped a little, but was still breathing hard
- After the game: slight coughing, sniffling, sneezing was occurring, and constantly having to clear the throat of phlegm
I don't think it's because I'm out of shape, because this was happening to me back when I was in high school too when I was in the best shape.

There really is no such thing as exercise induced asthma..... all asthma is induced. I the symptoms you are describing are symptoms of an allergy. You also stated that you were playing in a Soccer game ( probably outdoors, on a pitch). Phlegm is not produced during an asthma attack.... asthma is characterized by wheezing.... not coughing.....
I think you have developed a severe hayfever allergy and with the pollen counts increasing this condition will only get worse. Go to the Dr. and mention all of the symptoms that you mentioned here.

Sounds highly likely, maybe also made worse by allergies as well.
Look it up on Web MD, and see a Dr.
Be sure to mention if asthma runs in the family.
EDIT: Severe coughing attacks as well as coughing in general is most certainly a part of asthma when it gets bad enough. For some people, that is the predominant symptom, without any detectable wheezing. This is due to the increased production of thicker than usual mucus that is a part of asthma.Drinking lots of water helps to thin the mucus, makes it easier to cough up, and lessens the severity of the cough.My Dr. has yet to hear of an asthmatic who does not have allergies of one kind or another.
I am an asthmatic who only gets attacks from illness, smoke, allergies, extreme emotional distress (or even laughing real hard). If I am already triggered by one of these things, exercise becomes another trigger. Otherwise, exercise is not a factor. It varies highly from person to person, a good Dr. will help you learn to recognize your triggers.

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?

you're having an hypersensitivity or hypersensitive reactions that triggered off the allergies. you extremely ought to pass to a hypersensitivity physician and get it dealt with so which you will no longer start up having it chronically. it could make you become disabled in case you don't get it below administration now in the previous it gets began. Being it began in October, it rather is in all risk seasonal hypersensitive reactions led to by ragweed or something else evironmental. comparable concern interior the summertime. something is a collection off to reason it.

It could be exercise induced asthma. It could also be allergies too.

Make an appointment with your doctor. He/she will probably put you on inhalers to find out if that helps.
