6. Difficulty Breathing During Exercise
Exercise-induced asthma, also known as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, is a common early sign of asthma. This condition occurs when the airways narrow in response to physical activity, leading to difficulty breathing, wheezing, and coughing during or after exercise.
Exercise-induced asthma can limit an individual’s ability to participate in physical activities and may even discourage exercise altogether. However, with proper management and treatment, most people with exercise-induced asthma can continue to engage in physical activities safely.
Tt is essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. An individualized asthma action plan can help manage exercise-induced asthma and enable you to maintain an active lifestyle. (6)
