Teen Athlete Struggles to Breathe During Exercise, Learns Issue Isn’t Asthma

Показать описание

A breathing condition called exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction, or EILO, was robbing Maya of her love for playing basketball. The condition is often misdiagnosed as exercise-induced asthma. Maya’s doctor, Cleveland Clinic voice and upper airway specialist, Claudio Milstein, Ph.D., says in individuals with EILO, the vocal cords tend to close when they should actually open, obstructing the airway and causing shortness of breath. The condition prevents a person from taking in enough breath to handle the exertion. After therapy and hard work, Maya is back on the court. She’s recognized as our 2023 Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine Courage Award winner for the 23rd Greater Cleveland Sports Awards.

My son might have this. Such a shame for kids trying to do something they love and their body isn't allowing them to enjoy it.
