Asthma with no cough?

[LynetteScavo]

11yo DS has been getting increasingly out of breath during physical activity over the past few months, and is now complaining of a tight chest.

Could it be asthma if he isn't coughing much?

ds has exercise induced asthma - no coughing, no wheezing, just a tight pain in his chest. I didn't know you could have asthma without coughing or wheezing. He has a puffer to take before he starts doing sports.

Go and see the GP

Thanks - feel a bit bad now, as we couldn't figure out why his fitness level was dropping, and have had him out doing loads of fast bike rides, etc!

Will get him checked out by the GP.
