How Can Exercise-induced Asthma Be Treated?

default
Posted on Fri, 8 Sep 2017
Question: yesterday while riding the exercise bike, which I've done every day for years, I started feeling a "burning" in my chest, radiating up my neck on the left side. My heart rate did not go up. This went on for about 5 minutes, then subsided. Today the same thing happened after five minutes on the bike, so I quit and came home. My bp was 121/79 and heart rate 67. Any ideas as to what this is? I've had previous stress tests and heart scans, all of which were 100% clear.
