Preventing Breathing Difficulty While Running
In Case of an Asthma Attack
If asthma attack occurs during physical activity, it's important to act quickly to halt the episode. Stop all activity and try to stay calm. Get away from or remove any obvious triggers (smoke, dust, cold air). If you have a rescue inhaler, take it. Try to slow or control any erratic breathing. If the symptoms continue, get medical attention quickly. Asthma symptoms generally come on slowly and increase over time, and they can actually get worse once exercise stops. But with medication and patience, the episode should pass. If you feel that your breathing isn't improving after treatment, seek emergency help immediately.
