About Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm
Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm (EIB) can make physical activity a challenge, causing shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. This condition, often mistaken for poor fitness, is treatable, allowing you to stay active. TheDrugClub helps make these vital treatments more affordable, ensuring you don't have to choose between your health and your budget.
Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm (EIB), sometimes called exercise-induced asthma, is a temporary narrowing of the airways in the lungs that occurs during or after intense physical activity. It's not true asthma, but many people with asthma also experience EIB. Symptoms typically appear 5 to 20 minutes into exercise or 5 to 10 minutes after stopping, and can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and unusual fatigue during exercise. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but it's believed to be triggered by breathing in air that is drier and colder than the air already in the lungs, leading to airway inflammation and constriction. Diagnosis usually involves a medical history review and a lung function test, often performed before and after exercise.
Managing EIB often involves a combination of medication and lifestyle adjustments. The most common treatment is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA)
