Hey internets… quick question… any of you have EIA?(see title of post)
After my 60 min walk today, I was having trouble catching my breath and am STILL wheezing alot tonight (it is 7:15 now, I go home from walking at 3) and when I yawn, I have trouble getting a “full” breath. Do you think this could be EIA? I have no problems with breathing otherwise. I remember in middle school HATING to walk the mile as it really tired me out, and other than cheerleading/poms/show choir/theater, I was not very active the past 15 years. I AM beginning to notice more of a breathing issue as I get quicker miles and try to “run” a little in the middle of my walks (by running I mean regular runners would run circles around me… jogging if you will, and I can only do it for like 25 seconds before I am completely out of breath and wheezing… then, even though I want to run jog again, I can’t seem to get up the energy, even 15 or 20 minutes later.)
Anyway, just thought I would ask you all if you have the same problem. I have never been diagnosed with asthma or breathing issues, just a lot of cases of resperatory infections when I was little.
Thanks in advance for your help!
(BTW, was OP all day today! YEAH!)

I’ve heard of it but I have NO IDEA what the signs/symptoms are. It could be DOE (dyspnea on exertion) and not full ashtma, but again, I don’t know. If you are still having issues, I would check in with your doctor.
I used to have it about 10 years ago when I started dancing and performing. It really scared me and I went to the doctor and they tested me and said that it was EIA and prescribed an inhaler. I had never had any respiratory problems prior. I also noticed that it would trigger when I would get really worked up rushing around getting ready for a performance. It eventually went away but I have always been aware of it, in case it came back. I would go to your doc to be sure and maybe over time with more exercise it will go away like mine did.
I have EIA. I was diagnosed when I was a sophomore in high school. I ran a couple of relay races after school at a track meet and in the middle of the night my mom found me sitting in the recliner gasping for a breath. I ended up in the emergency room breathing into one of those enebulizers (spelling????)
Ever since then, I have inhalers that I use on a regular basis and ones that I use in case I get a really bad “episode”. When I get on the treadmill or do any type of exercise, I always have my meds with me just in case. Even now, I will be in the middle of exercising and have to use my “rescue” inhaler.
Doctor said I could grow out of it—but I am turning 40 soon and still have symptoms..
Take care and go get checked out!
