Virtual consult: Try two puffs of Albuterol inhaler 5-10 minutes prior to exercise which may be repeated as needed during the cool down period. If you have extreme shortness of breath, please stop running and rest. A virtual consult may be useful to you and your physician. Please follow up with your PCP.
