Recently i feel out of breath all the time, and i cant take in deep breaths...?!
Question: im only 14 and healthy. a few days ago ive been getting this feeling like when i would try to take a deep breath my lungs wont get full. like you know when you breath you feel your lungs fill up? well when i breathe in i feel like my lungs arent full with air but my body wont let me take in any more air.
my dad is a doctor and last night he listened to my heart or w-e they listen to and said my breathing was fine and no asthma but my heart beat was like 10 faster than normal but nothing big.
has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? anyone know what i should do??

Are you under stress, a high achiever. You might be getting panic attacks. Rule out anything physical, you do not have a viral infection or pneumonia. (you lungs shrink and do not fill with liquid) No fever or infection. Get checked by another doctor, that can be objective and rule out everything physical.
You are a teen, with stresses all around you and your body is trying to tell you something. Listen to it.
i kinda have some times like that. i don't know what to do about it, either, but good luck!
I've experienced exactly what you're describing... and it was panic attacks.
However, you should get checked out by your doctor to make sure that nothing more serious is going on (not that these sensations aren't serious enough). This will also reassure you (panic attacks can be absolutely terrifying, but not fatal).
By "your physician" I mean not your dad, there are good reasons why physicians shouldn't treat close relatives including a lack of objectivity and the fact that they shouldn't prescribe drugs to relatives.
