Exercise induced Asthma?I just turned 15 and I'm playing volleyball At a state level and training/playing 14 hours a week. But lately during intense training I have found I'm very short of breath, coughing, my throat has a lot of mucus, and i have to sit down, and then i can breath normal again after about 10- 15 mins.
I went to the Local GP and explained about my symptoms He just said "I will just listen to your breathing and i will know if you have Asthma" so he did and he said I'm fine and i was like ummm i don't think so, And i asked if there was anything you can get from Exercise and he said no so i asked are you sure then he said ohhh there is Exercise induced Asthma but i don't think you have that and he told me to get a blood test.
I don't think he is right cause when i looked on the internet about Exercise induced Asthma all the symptoms point to me having it. People have said the GP usually over look it.
Soo now i don't know what to do because i really want to go far in volleyball but its holding me back. I live in Perth WA and is there any one that specializes in Exercise induced Asthma.
PLEAS HELP ME!!!!!

Try not to home diagnose. I'm not saying that your GP is bad but he doesn't sound as thorough as he should be for a respiratory problem. It's strange though because doctors aren't usually hesitant to give out asthma pumps to try out even for a month to see if it works. You could ask to try an inhaler for a month and see if that helps

If your doctor is hesitant about giving you an inhaler for breathing problems, you might try exercising your lungs. My Tae Kwon Do master used to have me work on different breathing techniques so I wouldn't rely on my inhaler as much.
Try taking a deep breath and holding for a few seconds. Slowly release it. Doing this a few times a day and especially before a lot of activity helped expand my lungs to be able to not get as winded.
