Exercise Induced Asthma

Asthma is a very dangerous, sensitive and limiting condition. For active individuals, getting diagnosed with asthma can be a very big blow, because this will mean constant monitoring, medication and certain limits to the number and amount of activities one might participate in. Symptoms of EIA include difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, and the feeling of tightness in the chest which can manifest a few minutes during and after the exercise.

While this condition is mostly prevalent on children and young adults due to the level of activity, EIA can occur at any age. Research has found that this condition is brought about by the process of respiratory heat exchange which is explained as the fall of temperature during rapid breathing followed by the body’s natural mechanism to reheat the airways with lowered ventilation leading to inflammation and irritation of the bronchial tree.

Exercise induced asthma is very common. In fact about 80 to 90 percent of the individuals diagnosed with chronic asthma are also affected by EIA and about 35 to 40 percent of this population experience severe symptoms during colder seasons even when there is only minimal activity involved. Of course EIA should not be a reason for you to prevent yourself from participating in any of the activities that you might enjoy.

Exercise after all, is very important for our greater wellbeing, asthmatic or not. With proper knowledge and preparation you will be able to start and successfully finish any exercise without having to worry about flare-ups and attacks. Remembering simple steps like taking your medication before exercising, emphasizing on nose breathing, wearing a face mask when exercising, temporarily avoiding exercise when you have a viral infection, warming up and cooling down before and after an activity can help lessen the chances that you will be encountering unwanted circumstances.

There is no specific exercise that you must avoid when you have EIA, but choosing activities that requires short bursts of energy instead of those that require stamina and endurance can also assure you that there will be fewer chances of flare ups and attacks.

If you have any additional questions about exercise induced asthma, ask your doctor about them. Ask about the level of danger that it can pose to you, the treatments that are going to be used along with the possible side effects that you might experience from long term use. Again asthma should not be used as an excuse to avoid exercise in any way. With proper diagnosis, treatment and know-how you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that exercises can bring without fear of any symptoms and attacks. Choose an exercise that you particularly like, because the sooner you start the sooner you will feel a whole lot better.
