im wondering if i have exercise induced asthma...i was playing bball with a friend a while ago and after maybe 5/10 minutes (i was playing hard) he made me stop because the way i was breathing scared him. He saidi was breathing really deep/fast andhe thought i was going to pass out. I didnt notice because im usually like that when i exercise (bball,skateboarding,biking). depending on how long/hard i exercise ill get a tight chest so its kinda harder to breathe (sometimes if i just push myself harder my chest will burn) and end up feeling congested and ill be coughing a lot. I always thought it was normal, but my friend asked if i had asthma...and so i looked stuff up and found out about EIA. Im wondering if i should go to a doctor, cus i have some people telling me im just out of shape...but i dunno cus i rememeber coughing a lot during exercise for the last two years or so. Its a deep harsh cough from the chest.  One person told me i might have just normal asthma. I never had allergies before but in the last year or so i have noticed that especially in the summer ill have what feels like sinus problems...just a feeling of pressure around my nose/eyes and a headache. I never used to get headaches much before either. I dunno if im imagining things now cus im wondering wat my symptoms are, but it feels like im either getting sick (cus my sister had a cold recently) or something else..cus my chest feels a little tight, ive got that sort of sinus pressure feeling and a little bit of a headache...Does coughing/getting congested from laughing have anything to do with asthma? cus i dont even have to laugh hard to get that. In a conversation i can laugh several times off and on and then start coughing (with phlegm)
