Bronchospasm: One condition associated with this symptom is post exercise bronchospasm. During the cool down period, sometimes the symptoms of exercise induced bronchospasm actually worsen. An evaluation may include PFTs with and without a bronchodilator and exercise provocation and repeat testing. Albuterol inhaler two puffs 10 minutes prior to exercise and post exercise may relieve symptoms.
