Late Onset Exercise Induced Asthma

About 3 weeks ago after my swim meet, I got home and thought I was having a heart attack. My chest was tight and I couldn't breathe. It finally stopped but I was sore the next day. Then the next time I swam it happened again, only not as severly this time. So I did a little research and I think it might be exercise induced asthma. I bought an over counter inhailer (sp) and it seems to be helping. The only thing is that I never had problems with asthma as a kid or anytime, this is entirely new. Has anybody else had problems with this? I'm gonna go the doc when I get back from school, but does anyone have ways to deal with it? Thanks!!!

    Finally something on here my rookie self can speak about. What you describe could be many, many things. It could be serious, most likely not, but you don't want to chance it. Sounds like EIA to me, but you need a physical exam. Probably an inhaler and some Singulair will fix you right up, but it could be some serious stuff, go get checked out. Even if you are on the road, go!
