Do i maybe have asthma, i'm fine, or something else?!


Question: Do i maybe have asthma, i'm fine, or something else?
Ok so i have the following symptoms :
- Shortness of breathe
- Tightness of chest
- Sometimes wheezing sound after running
- winded after walking a bit
( i am active and i am not over weight so its not that)
I did go to my doctor because in the summer i find it extremely hard to breathe and i couldn't describe it to my doctor so he couldn't help me, but now i can, can any one help?

Answers:

Definitely go to see your doctor. You could have exercise induced asthma and there are inhalers that you can use before you exercise so that this doesn't happen. Also the inhalers can be used when you need a rescue.
Also, do you smoke? You should not smoke if you have asthma. It can make you develop asthma, or have an attack. If you smoke, stop please!!!
Go to your doctor and ask him to do a Pulmonary Function Test. It will show if you have copd *emphysema or chronic bronchitis* and/or asthma.
If you have any of these, it is better to know now rather than later as there are things you can do.
If your doctor won't order it, ask for a referral to a Pulmonologist or seek another doctor.
Yes, don't let this go untreated OK? Hope this helps.

From your symptoms it sounds like asthma. It could also be allergies. I recommend going and seeing your dr. and from there he will make his diagnosis. Some tests will be done to see if you have asthma or allergies. Hopefully everything goes well.
Good Luck
