Exercise induced asthma
Exercise induced asthma can be a symptom of poorly controlled asthma, so whenever this is presented, the patient's inhaler technique and compliance should be assessed. The patient should be advised to use their short-acting B2 agonist before exercise to reduce airway resistance. If this persists, the patient should be referred to their GP.
Don’t worry, you can come back and finish the assessment in your own time.
