I have asthma . I just had a soccer game and pushed myself really hard after not playing for a while. During the game I started to become light-headed and had lots of trouble breathing . I probably over-exerted myself. My lungs began to ache and still are aching, an hour after the exercise. My lower back also hurts and I have a headache . What is going on?
Hi, You told you had asthma. Was it diagnosed by a physician, and what are the medications you are taking? You also did not mention your age. There is a different entity called as exercise induced asthma which starts 10-20 minutes after completing exercise and persists 30-45 minutes. It is more common in Chat Doctor.  On all other occasional, patient do not have any other symptoms. If your symptoms were consistent with this, then you should take metered dose inhaler Stalin 2 puffs before starting exercise at least 15 minutes ago. But if you have asthma also apart from the time you are exercising, then you should use formoterol-budesonide MDI 2 puffs twice daily BD through spacer along with montelukast-levocetrizine for two weeks followed by levocetrizine once daily. For your current problem, please take MDI Stalin 4 times daily. Go to a pulmonologist and consult. Hope, I satisfied your queries.
