Question

What Causes Shortness of Breath After Exercise?

Answer

Shortness of breath after exercise may be related to asthma, which is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with factors such as genetics, infection, immunity, and environment. Treatment should adhere to the principles of long-term, standardized, continuous, and individualized medication. In daily life, it is advisable to consume more lung-nourishing foods like lychee and pear, and can also take Chinese herbs such as Cordyceps sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Alisma orientale, and Lycium barbarum. Alternatively, traditional Chinese patent medicines like Guilong Cough and Asthma Pill or Gejie Dingchuan Pill can be taken.
