4 Responses to “How is exercise induced asthma different to regular asthma?”
I have exercise induced asthma and at times I can deal with it without my inhaler but I find it’s easier just to take the inhaler if it’s not cleared out so I can breathe properly, hence a better run. I also have asthma of other triggers (dust, pets etc)
They’re the same thing, sometimes you can work it thru on your own but I just don’t see the point to ‘*suffer* if I don’t have to. I’ll do it for a few mins etc but if it’s not improving (and sometimes it can) I inhale-I don’t care how it looks. It’s not fun not being able to breathe!
Since asthma is broncospasm, they are both the same, but the cause is different.The cause of exercise induced asthma is the inhalation of cold air or any air which is cooler than room air.
Inhalers are not harmful, you should be using 2 puffs 15 mins before running. Limit to 2 puffs only.

It’s no different. What triggers an episode is only difference.
