I've been running Track and Cross Country for 4 years now and although I have this problem during both seasons it's much worse during Track. During a race I feel like I'm gasping for air and afterwards there's an almost unbearable pain in my upper chest and throat. I end up having a sore/scratchy throat and mild coughing for the next couple of days and I really want to know what's causing it. I don't have asthma or allergies but I heard there's an Exercise-Induced form of asthma and I was wondering if I have that.
Some other things I feel I should point out: My brother has the same problem but it's worse for me and one time I used my sweater as a filter for my breathing afterwards because the air was cold and that actually helped a lot.
If anyone's an expert on E-I A. then please let me know if I've got it or not! Thank you. =]
