Exercise asthma: They both can cause you to be out of breath but exercise asthma is associated with true asthma, which causes more severe shortness of breath as well as wheezing.

Sometimes...: Sometimes, the shortness of breath with exercise can be similar with deconditioning as well as asthma. However, with pulmonary function testing, your doctor can often distinguish the two. If not, see a pulmonologist since there is more advanced testing available that can definitely tell the difference.
