The symptoms are visible after five to 20 minutes of starting with the exercise. These become more prominent for about 5 to 10 minutes after stopping the exercise and after that start getting lesser. These diminish completely in an hour but may also last longer. Its symptoms can be one of these or a combination of them. These include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, chest pain, and prolonged shortness of breath or extreme fatigue.
