    forget the admitting you are wrong just type something that actually makes some sort of sense.

    EIA is just asthma. No-one can have eia without being an asthma sufferer. If anyone has been told they have eia because they have found out through exercise then they already had asthma but did not know it. There are no special inhalers for treating this eia, you will be given preventers to prepare yourself and monitored for the effectiveness. If you was already on inhalers and found it harder to breathe because you decided to get of your back side then the dosage would go up.

    Say after 3 months you are still running and you tell your nurse that you are still finding it hard to breathe when running then the dosage will increase. If your asthma is mild and after 6 months you are no longer exercising then the dose will drop or stop. Of course everyone will be given salbutamol for fast acting relief.

    Almost everyone with asthma will have eia. It is called that because it is precisely the exercise that makes its more noticeable and is exactly why people did not know they had it until they decided to train. Some put it down to being unfit or smoking and just put up with it thinking its one of those things until one gets serious and the exercise intensifies.
