If you are coughing after exercise, you might be experiencing symptoms of exercise induced asthma or exercise induced bronchospasm.

We also perform exercise induced asthma tests that observe and assess symptoms during an exercise challenge. You will run on a treadmill or use other stationary exercise equipment that increases your breathing rate. This exercise needs to be intense enough to trigger the symptoms you’ve experienced.

We offer additional testing to fully diagnose and treat your asthma symptoms.
