Hi! Symptoms of shortness of breath and cough are often signs of respiratory diseases, including bronchial asthma (asthma), especially since childhood, so it is not excluded that they have asthma.
So, to the question “is coughing with shortness of breath during vigorous exercise related to asthma? "Doctor advise you to see a respiratory specialist to determine if you have asthma or not? And if the doctor who examined me before said that I had high blood pressure, I should see a cardiologist, because leaving it untreated for a long time would be very dangerous.
