I was just diagnosed with excersised induced asthma, is it possible to get asthma attack when not excersising ?

YES: Exercise induced asthma is just a variant of bronchial asthma and I suggest formal pulmonary function studies and allergy testing.

Depends: If you have asthma only with very vigorous exertion, the condition is called exercise induced bronchospasm which many elite athletes suffer (who have no asthma at any other time otherwise). Some people do develop asthma only with exertion and may have no problem at all at other times. There is some suggestion however that EIA may be a harbinger of bronchial asthma later on.

Yes: yes it is possible - if it happens often you may have to use a preventive inhaler daily

Sure. But...: Ex. induced asthma is one form of intermittant asthma. Intermittant asthma can be triggered by other factors, too. Given your history, though, I'd confirm asthma w/ ex. challenge involving spirometry. Exercise can also cause shortness of breath from GERD and larygospasm (VCD). See allergist or pulmonogist.

AsthmaExerciseInduce: Exercise induced Asthma as the name says is attack of asthma that is triggered by doing vigorous or prolonged exercise or physical exertion But there are many patients with Chronic Asthma who may develop symptoms of Asthma during Strenuous Execise So there is some overlapping in some patients but exercise induced asthma is an entity by itself&those patients get Asthma symptoms on exercise only

Maybe.: If you truly have Exercise induced Bronchospasm (EIB) then you cough wheeze or have shortness of breath when you stop exercising. We see pulmonary functions drop to the worse levels 7-10 minutes after exercise. Breathing cold dry air can also trigger symptoms in EIB. Sometime the name gets used to describe asthma that gets worse when you exercise. Then other things will trigger asthma attacks.

Very much so: If you have exercise induced asthma it already tells me you have airways that can be "reactive" at times. Sometimes, if it's just the right trigger, like a viral/bacterial bronchitis, it could set of an asthma flare without even exercising.

Sure: Though exercise induced asthma is not triggered by the same triggers as other asthmatics., strong emotions like crying, laughing,etc can trigger an attack. Cold whether may also trigger an attack in non-allergic asthma. Good Luck

Of course.: There are many different triggers that can start someone's bronchi constricting causing an asthma attack. Those triggers can be different in different people. They can be allergies, exposure to cold air, infection "colds", exercise, etc. The medicines to treat it can be taken both therapeutically when you are sick and prophylactically (when you realize that you will be confronting a trigger).
