Hello Evanguline,

Yes, exercise can trigger asthma. I sometimes does for me. I've written a book about this, "Running with Asthma: An asthmatic Runner's Memoir," available on amazon.com. In the book are many strategies to prevent asthma attacks in the course of exercise. One strategy is to avoid exercise when sick or tired.

Yours for better breathing,
