What Causes Pressure In The Chest Along With Wheezing?
I am 29, generally healthy and fit as i play a lot of football. Over the last few weeks whilst playing my chest becomes tight, i get out of breath easy and my chest starts wheezing. I have had a virus but this has been going on for 6 weeks. What can this be?

Hello,
Your symptoms sound fairly typical for exercise-induced asthma. Symptoms usually start 3 minutes after the onset of exercise and peak at 15 minutes. Treatment is with an inhaler called albuterol, which can also be used prior to exercise to reduce symptoms.
I hope you feel better.
