Exercising helps people keep a healthy and desirable body weight and figure, boost and strengthen the immune system as well as strengthen and tone the muscles of the body. Most people who exercise and go to the gym expect nothing but good health benefits whenever they go to the gym, right? Well, in the case of exercise-induced asthma, going to the gym and trying hard to keep fit and sexy is a no-no. Individuals who are suffering from exercise-induced asthma are highly discouraged to perform specific exercises that could be really strenuous to the body, as well as the lungs. You see, when one gives his or her best in an exercise routine, it requires physical effort. When a person exerts too much physical effort, the breathing pattern may change and become affected, which could eventually lead to a medical condition called exercise-induced asthma. Exercise And Symptoms Tightening of the chest, coughing and wheezing during or after exercise are just some of the most common symptoms that one may feel if he or she has exercise-induced asthma. People who are suffering from exercise-induced asthma are known to be very sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Dry and cold air experienced during or after exercising is a common trigger for exercise-induced asthma. Exercising is considered to be a strenuous physical activity and when people are exercising, they usually breathe through their mouth making way for dry and cold air to enter the lower airways. Since the mouth was used for breathing, the nose did not have the chance to make the air warm and humid for the airways. Breathing through the mouth also gives more chances for air pollutants, viral respiratory tract infections, and high pollen counts to enter the airways and makes wheezing during exercise more severe.
