A member asked:
Had sports induced asthma when i was younger. no problems in 5/6 years. lately not breathing right when running. could it have gone away and come back?

Yes and no: Probably never went away. Could have been in remission. May have changed the type of environment, humidily or temperature that you normally run in. Is there some allergic phenomena in the area? See your doctor and get treated before you get into trouble. best wishes.

Hyperreactive airway: Once the alveoli, the little air sacs in your lungs develop muscle tissue in them, they are always able to contract causing a spasm. This is called hyper reactive airway disease. It never goes away. When your lungs are stressed for example with exercise it can definitely come back. Seek your PCP or a pulmonologist, there are several effective drugs to manage this.
