I've always had trouble in gym class due to my asthma, but never knew until now that asthma can be excersize induced. In the past, many of the signs of excersize induced ashtma have been seen as people just being out of shape, but they are something serious to look after. According to THIS story from US News and World Report (where I once interned!) the 7 signs to look out for are:
"Shortness of breath... cough... chest tightness... reduced athletic performance... excessive fatigue... wheezing... prolonged recovering time following excersize..."
These symptoms can also be made worse by bad air conditions such as high pollen count. Always be sure to keep a lookout!
