Very out of breath after walking up the stairs this morning

[somedude147]

I am 14 years old and i was diagnosed with asthma when i was little. I am not on any medication for it except for an albuterol inhalher. anyway, this morning when i woke up i had difficulty breathing and my nose was very stuffy (the house i'm staying in has 2 dogs and 2 cats.) so i went down stairs to get my back so i could get a change of clothes. as i was walking back up, i started getting a burning in my chest and stomach and felt very out of breath. i got up to my room and it persisted for another 30 seconds or so. then i had a paqin in my sternum that felt like a prickly sting that onlty lasted a second. i took a puff of my inhaler and haven't had any problems all day, even from running up the stairs. I am just wondering why i had this episode this morning?

I'd definitely get in for an appoint to reassess your asthma, etc.  How are you doing now?

sorry for replying late, ill1362. I am not sure how i got asthma. I was diagnosed with it at age 4/5 can't remember.

I used to have terrible allergies from cats, I couldn't be in a room with them it was so bad.  I am thinking of getting further allergy testing
do you use a nebulizer?  it's supposed to help but for me I'm not sure.  by the way do you know how you developed asthma?  I'm wondering how I developed this terrible disease

One possibility is that it's the time of year to start using the heat, and the stale, musty, extra dusty air set you off.  I don't have asthma, but turning on the heat for the first time makes me a little sick every year.
