A member asked:
If a person has asthma, will it be obvious if he has asthma if he exercises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: It is amazing how asthma behaves in different people. I have seen patients with only minimal airway obstruction yet a lot of symptoms, yet others with moderate airway obstruction having little or no symptoms with exercise. In general, the majority of people will have breathing problem after about 10 minutes of exercise. A lung function test remains the best way to assess asthma -at least for now
