Not asthma?: If your breathing problem comes on less than 5 minutes after initiating exercise, it is likely not from asthma and thus the lack of response to bronchodilator. Consult your allergist or ENT doctor with special interest on vocal cord dysfunction. I presume your cardiac function is otherwise adequate.
