Bronchospasm: Pre medication with Albuterol inhaler 5-10 minutes prior to exercise and repeating as needed is advised. If the symptoms continue you may need a controller medication such as an inhaled steroid. Exercise induced bronchospasm often worsens or continues in the cool down phase. Repeat your use of Albuterol and please see a physician. A virtual consultation is available to review and to develop a plan
