Sports asthma: is known as exercise associated bronchospasm (spasm of the airway in your lungs). It does not mean you will necessarily develop asthma. If you are having trouble breathing, wheezing or coughing with exercise you should see your doctor for a work-up as there could be other reasons for these symptoms.
