I cannot run to save my life, literally.

I am only able to run for maybe 6 meters and then i am wiped. I can't breath, my legs are already throbbing, i have chest pain and stomach pains. I am in JROTC and Physical Trainging is a HUGE part. But i know it's not asthma because i was put on an inhaler and the ONLY affect was i got shakey. There was no change whatso ever to the postitive. So what could possibly be wrong with me? I really need to be able to run, or else i may get kicked out of JROTC which is basically my life. Please help.

Thank you so much. It's alot more for me to go off of than what i had before. I'll look into the lung function test.

Have you had a physical done at the doctor's? I would look into getting a spirometry test done, which tests your lung function with how much air you can hold and how your lungs handle it. If your body is not getting the oxygen it needs, it can cause all of your other symptoms. I would make a doctor's appointment to get a physical done and ask about the lung function test.
