Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions about exercise-induced asthma:

1. Do my symptoms suggest exercise-induced asthma?
   
   
2. Is there testing to confirm I have exercise-induced asthma? If so, which ones will you use to diagnose me?
   
   
3. Is this condition dangerous? What risks does it pose to my overall health?
   
   
4. What are my treatment options?
   
   
5. Am I likely to have an asthma attack every time I exercise?
   
   
6. Will medications allow me to safely participate in sports and other physical activities?
   
   
7. Are certain sports better choices than others? What activities do you recommend for me?
   
   
8. Are there certain environments I should avoid while exercising? Is it better for me to exercise indoors or outdoors?
   
   
9. Would I benefit from limiting the time I spend exercising?
   
   
10. Under what circumstances should I seek emergency medical treatment for exercise-induced asthma?
    
    
11. Are my children likely to develop this condition as well?
