Presentation
He cites a case study in his presentations on EIB. The subject is a 15-year-old boy who loves sports but can’t keep up with the other players. Shortly after he embarks on an activity, he becomes winded and begins coughing. [uchealth.org]
SYMPTOMS, INCIDENCE, AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF EIA The symptoms of EIA—shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, and wheezing—typically follow a brief period of bronchodilation that is present early in the course of exercise. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Should resting values be abnormal, then asthma, or some other chronic lung condition, is present. [en.wikipedia.org]
The classical presentation of EIA lends some insight into the possible causative mechanisms. In people prone to EIA the first 3-5 minutes of physical activity usually have no adverse effects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Physician
If an athlete is diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma, the physician will typically prescribe medication. The two common options are a pre-exercise medication or a long-term control medication. Sometimes the physician may require the use of both. [chkd.org]
Malays Fam Physician. 2008; 3(1): 21–24. Published online 2008 Apr 30. This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Abstract Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a common condition affecting 12-15% of the population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sir John Floyer, an English physician and an asthma patient himself, recognized near the end of the 17th century that different types of exercise caused symptoms of varying intensity. 34 ,36 This work was confirmed and amplified by Godfrey, 15 who in [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
However, there is no evidence supporting different treatment for EIB in asthmatic athletes and nonathletes. [16] The most common medication used is a beta agonist taken about 20 minutes before exercise. [16] Some physicians prescribe inhaled anti-inflammatory [en.wikipedia.org]

Fatigue
The signs and symptoms to be aware of include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue and reduced athletic performance. Symptoms may continue for 30 to 90 minutes if not treated properly. [chkd.org]
This may be due to peer pressure, embarrassment, fear of losing position on the team, or plain misinterpretation as post-exercise fatigue. CONCLUSION EIA is a common problem that affects millions of people annually all over the world. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chest Discomfort
MANAIFESTATIONS The pathophysiologic mechanisms of asthma result in a multiplicity of physiologic changes occurring within the pulmonary tree during or following exercise. 2, 10 These include: cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness of chest or chest [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Falling
During this time the PEFR and FEV1 fall by 20-50%. This early-phase response is the classic manifestation of EIA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cough
The confusion comes because the symptoms are so similar – coughing, wheezing and dyspnea (shortness of breath). EIB is not uncommon – it affects from 5 to 20 percent of the general population. [uchealth.org]
The inflamed airway often causes coughing, wheezing and tightness in the chest. The signs and symptoms to be aware of include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue and reduced athletic performance. [chkd.org]

Persons who give a history of cough, wheezing, dyspnoea, chest pain or chest tightness following aerobic activity should be questioned in detail regarding other symptoms related to EIA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Rhinitis
It is primarily seen in people who are asthmatic but can also be found in patients who have atopy or allergic rhinitis and even in healthy individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Parents may be reluctant to allow their youngsters with asthma to participate in athletics, and teachers may fear taking responsibility for a child's severe attack. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
