asthma?


Question Posted Wednesday August 30 2006, 7:05 pm

i think i have this asthma problem but i am not sure if it really is asthma or something similar.

reasons why i think this: i'm overweight but i eat fairly healthy; i love fruit and dairy products; and i exercise daily, in total of an hour a day (with slow exercises and at a steady pace). but everytime i run a short distance, even walking, i start breathing so hard it's difficult for me to inhale. i stay out of breath for a miniumum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes.

and even when going up just ONE short flight of stairs (like 5-7 steps) I breathe soo hard and so loud. in gym when running just one small lap around the gym i felt like i was gonna pass out because of my breathing.

is this asthma? some kind of lung/cardiovascular problem? or from being overweight? please give an answer with an explaination with some suggestions. thank you =)

If your heart beats really fast during these breathing fits, it may be an arythmea. I had one when I was overweight, but I've recently gotten in shape and doesn't affect me anymore. Have it checked out by a doctor

go to the doctors.

nobody on this website can tell you what it truly is. the healthiest thing you could do is book an apt. the soonest you can and get their opinions on this.




sorry sweetie next time i'll get a phd JUST for you!

If you wake up coughing at night, there is a good chance you do have asthma. The best thing really is to get yourself checked by a doctor. Particularly if this is a sudden, recent occurrence. If it is asthma, it has the potential to be life threatening, but that's usually only if it's serious and not being managed correctly. If it is due to a different health problem, again, the doctor is the best person to see about it.
I would always recommend seeking medical advice if there is any doubt about a health issue, as if there is a problem, the sooner you are seen the more chance there is of dealing with it.
Hope that helps and good luck.
