Breathing

Hello. I havent gotten any type of tests done and really dont want to if i dont have to. It seems to be hard to take a deep breath sometimes but i dont get short of breath. Sometimes i will be a little weezy but nothing that stops me from doing sports or anything. I have no idea what this could be but i seem to have some allergies so when my breathing gets this way, sometimes i take simple benadryl and it seems to help a bit so i was wondering if this could just simply be seasonal allergies? Right now they said that the allergies are really bad sooo..... Thank you for your time.

You may be correct about an allergy. However, I would see a health care professional to confirm that it's not asthma which could be a life threatening event. Asthma can be treated as well as allergies. Have a simple peak flow test done.
