Hi im 19 year old female and when i exercise i get out of breath really easily. I also experiance a feeling like i am struggling to get air into my lungs. I have seen a doctor and they have diagnosed me with asthma but i dont think i have this. My boyfriend is asthmatic and his symptoms are different, for example he wheezes often and i have only ever wheezed a couple of times after running.
How recently did you start exercising? When was your last physical? If you're new to the whole shebang, your cardio system might be weak and you should reduce your workload until it builds up.
Do you workout outdoors? If you're in the northern US or Canada, and it's winter, that might be a trigger for asthmatic symptoms. Try staying indoors or work out at a gym.

Just because your boyfriends symptoms are different than yours does not mean that you do not have Asthma,. if you were diagnosed with it,. then you probably do have it,. wiether the symptoms are different or not.

BalletArtFreek766 answered Tuesday March 29 2011, 9:56 pm: it sounds like it could be asthma, but it could be bronchitis. are you coughing alot? I have asthma, and i also loose breath really quickly, but breathing exercises may be all you need. Its still a good idea to get a check up just to make sure its nothing worse. good luck :] [ BalletArtFreek766's advice column | Ask BalletArtFreek766 A Question ]
