Favourite answer

Sports induced asthma is a thing. It only comes on with exertion. I would look into that. Assuming she doesn't vape.

Answer 2

Look up exercise-induced asthma. Many people don't have symptoms any other time.

Answer 3

It would be wise for her to stop participating in highly aerobic activities until she is evaluated by a doc.   Without seeing a doc, its not even possible to know if this is a problem with the respiratory system or the heart. 

Answer 4

There are quite a few possibilities, but they would need to to be medically investigated. Asthma can occur at any age, but there are other reasons as well. Start with her doc and you may need cardiology and pulmonology.

Answer 5

even though she might not have had asthma in the past it can be triggered by certain exercises so get her checked for it anyway because it's dangerous to do sports with symptoms like these
