Asthma is often thought of as a childhood disease, but while some people do seem to grow out of the respiratory condition, many others continue to experience asthma symptoms in adulthood, including about 20 million adults in the United States, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

One in every 13 Americans has asthma, a respiratory condition that can cause wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Up to 90 percent of people with asthma have symptoms triggered by exercise, known as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or exercise-induced asthma.

Espinosa-Goswami lives in Minneapolis and was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma when she was 38.
