HIB, also known as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, is a closing or narrowing of the airways when someone breathes faster than normal (hyperpnea). HIB may be caused by a loss of heat or water from the airways or breathing in dry air during exercise or exertion.
Hyperpnoea-Induced Bronchoconstriction (HIB) falls under the Lungs & Breathing category.
