A member asked:
Is wheezing after excessive exercise generally caused by asthma?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Wheezing after exercise (usually at least 20 minutes into exercise or after) can be what is called "exercise-induced asthma". But it may be due to other reasons as well such as chronic lung disease and other lung issues. If this is occurring with you, see you physician.

Usually...: Wheezing that occurs during or right after exercise is typically caused by exercise-induced asthma. Some people have only exercise-induced asthma without having asthma symptoms at any other time. The treatment involves using a bronchodilator inhaler pre-exercise and right after exercise, if needed for symptoms. See your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
