Running and Breathing: Exercise Induced Asthma | Fitness, Health and Happiness: "Off and on during the summer I talked about shortness of breath while running. The difficulty with the Gulf Coast Half, The Heights Half and Little Miami Half. The worst pain ever with the horrible side stitch. I kept attributing it all to the heat and high humidity. Wrong! During my long run on Sun I noticed my breathing was shallow and labored earlier than usual. It quickly got worse to the point of struggling to breathe and my throat feeling like it was closing. Until now it had never been so bad that I even considered asthma. I was so focused on the pain from the side stitch (symptom) that I missed the cause."
