How is exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction treated when high-intensity exercise causes throat tightness and noisy inhalation?

Doctor’s answer

Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction should be considered, and laryngoscopy during exercise can confirm the diagnosis. Treatment often includes professionally guided breathing and laryngeal relaxation training, with laryngoscopic biofeedback if necessary. If asthma is also present, it should continue to be treated appropriately, and one diagnosis should not be used to explain all respiratory symptoms.
