Exercise induced : May need a bronchodilator to use prior to exertion-see your doctor to diagnose.

Continue running: If you and your physician have determined that you have exercise induced asthma, you may choose to use your rescue inhaler prior to running. Don;t do this without first talking it over with your physician. Surprisingly many elite athletes- including marathoners- have exercise induced asthma so don't stop running.
