There is increasing evidence relating body mass index to the prevalence of asthma and incidence of asthma in children and adults, males, and more consistently, in adolescent females. It is unlikely that the association is attributable to reverse causation, i.e. that asthma and obesity because of exercise-induced asthma symptoms. Rather, weight gain can antedate the development of asthma. Weight reduction among asthmatic patients can also result in improvements of lung function. (more…)

A history of cough, dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness or performance problems during exercise suggests the person may have Exercise Induced Asthma symptoms.
Confirmation of the diagnosis usually requires an exercise test, which can be made:
* Under laboratory conditions, using treadmill or bicycle ergometer and heart and respiratory monitoring. The person should run in a sufficiently intense to increase in heart rate by 80% or less, for 4 to 6 minutes.
* The outdoor race, trying to reproduce the situation that causes the asthma symptoms. We evaluate the distance covered in 10-12 minutes and relevant incidents during this test.
In either case, are performed spirometry before and after exercise at intervals of 5 minutes for 20 to 30 minutes. A 15% decrease in FEV, is the criterion for diagnosing exercise-induced asthma (EIA).

This is because most patients had bring out an established asthma diagnosis from prior regular asthma treatment, before presenting it to Asthma Emergency Department. We can see that most of patients had physical presentation: sitting up right, had profusely diaphoretic, only manage to speak only a few words at a time, and obvious respiratory distress. We can see varying respiratory rate on most patients. Hyperventilating is common in proportion to the severity of asthma attack. On the other hand, patients with hypoventilation is an indication of impending respiratory arrest. (more…)
