A member asked:
Is it normal to have lung pain, wheezing and coughing, during and after exercise? is this something that will go away after getting fitter?

Not normal: One should not expect "lung pain" , wheezing , or coughing with exercise. Your problem is likely from exercise -induced asthma which may be prevented with a bronchodilator prior to exercise. Warming up prior to exercise may help. Nonetheless you need to see your doctor and get a lung function test to make sure you don't have some asthma at rest. Hard to say if being more fit would help.

No: Wheezing during and after exercise suggests exercise related bronchospasm(asthma). This can be prevented with medication. See your physician

No, more workup: Deconditioning from lack of physical exercise is a common cause of shortness of breath, but if you are having wheezing and coughing you could be suffering from asthma and/or exercise induced bronchoconstriction. Address concerns with primary doctor so that additional workup can be completed.
