A girl from my school said that her asthma is only during sports and thats it...but she never had any problems with asthma until now.She said it was temporary at first but now she changed her story to just sports asthma. Is there such a thing as that?
 
yes. exercise-induced asthma exists. it has to be properly diagnosed and can be controlled using drugs (often inhaler devices) before or during exercise.




salbutamol e.g. - also a popular doping agent, which is why many pros are registered asthmatics.... grin.
 
Yes. Also- some people have sports as a big trigger for the asthma- including me. Whereas some people can't deal with animals or dust etc. with their asthma, my biggest issue is sport.
