exercise-induced asthma
Athletic respiratory distress
Exercise-induced asthma is a narrowing of the airways triggered by physical exertion, causing wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath during or after exercise.
The condition affects many athletes and non-athletes alike, often worsening in cold, dry air.
Some people have symptoms only with exercise; others have chronic asthma that exercise aggravates: She uses an inhaler before runs to manage her exercise-induced asthma.
