most helpful answer many people have exercise induced or cold induced asthma. basically if you exercise in the cold (running basketball etc) your lung airways start to contract making them smaller and therefore making it harder to breathe. this may occur due to chemicals called catecholamines that are release when a person exercises. it usually happens 5-15 minutes after starting and goes away about 1/2 hour to 2 hours after finishing. a good way to prevent this is to take albuterol 10 minutes before exercising. for you it is important to see the doctor to help diagnose and treat this. if it is exercise/cold induced asthma the treatment should really help.
my throat feels icey-cold after some excercises & then for a few days i wheeze & air feels cold in my throat. i am 23 male and eat fairly well. excercise that causes this include running basketball and pugil jousting. swimming doesn't bother me even if i swim all day. this has happened for a few years. initial coldness can be rather painful & i can feel it if i touch my neck with my hand. residual coldness tends not to be painful and can't be felt by hand. it lasts anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. temp's under about 70^f make it more likely. . i plan to see a doctor on break (college student).
