Can you tell me how to tell the difference of being out of shape, and having exercise induced asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be challenge: Distinguishing between deconditioning and exercise asthma can be a challenge. An exercise challenge may be helpful but unless they are done under the same conditions as when symptoms occur it may be normal. Checking peak flow data pre and post exercise may be helpful. A therapeutic trial of albuterol may be an option.
