Hi, if u had childhood asthma and at present shortness of breath on heavy exercises, then there is possibility of tracheobronchial hyper responsiveness ,.due to exertion which leads to increased tissue oxygen demand and then increase of respiratory rate for a while.if it comes down to normal after taking rest for about 5- 10 minutes then there is no need of treatment, if not then u need to see pulmonologist
