Yes it could be. It is a good idea to check with your pulmonary/ asthma MD about this symptom. Also be careful for it could be the Gym surroundings if you go to one.Hope you feel better

Asthma or bronchospasm triggered by exercise is one possible cause. There are cardiac conditions, post COVID syndrome and chronic lung diseases including embolism which may also be considered. A pulmonary function test, imaging and trial of a bronchodilator may be recommended. A virtual consult with HT is available.
