I’m not convinced that I have exercise induced asthma. Could there be more going on?
I have thalasemia minor.Not sure if there is a relation, but when I work out, I constantly yawn. And after my work out, I have severe allergic reactions like a runny nose and I sneeze constantly. Even in the morning, just walking up stairs, I get the same symptoms without that asmthatic weeze. I’m 37 and wonder if it something with my heart. My resting heart rate is low=56. I sometime even wake in my sleep because of a lack of breath (like sleep apnea). So I’m wondering if it’s more than asthma.

Glenda, I have exercise induced asthma; also, I have worked professionally using exercise with asthmatics and others…but I am not an expert. I had experts as back-up. However, your symptoms would have led me to recommend strongly that you check with a Respiratory Specialist. What you describe doesn’t fit an picture with which I’m familiar. There could be asthma involved, or it could be ‘just’ allergy – but the symptoms of both can vary greatly. I strongly urge some professional help!
The risks are too great not to – in my opinion.
I mean – how long you can hold your breath?
first, asthma can cause you to wake in your sleep because of lack of breath. It sounds like you don’t have just exercised induced asthma, but that allergies or something else may be triggering your asthma.
