Possibly: There is a form of asthma which worsens when exercising. If you have family members with asthma, you have a greater risk for developing asthma. If you experience shortness of breath, chest tightness and/or wheezing, please see your pediatrician. A virtual consultation with you and your parent to discuss the next steps with Healthtap physician.
