Asthma or something else? Please help asap

[midia315]

i am 17 and Since January I've had a stomach flu, strep, a double ear infection, a severe upper respiratory infection, and some other little things(colds ect). Recently, I have noticed little things I dealt with before getting worse; such as being able to catch my breath, shortness of breath to a point I could not breath or talk at all, nausea, tightness in my chest almost like someone is squeezing me, and a few others. when I was born the doctors said I had asthma but I never had any flare ups unless I am really sick but now even simple things I become out of breath. the worst experience I had today which made my coach tell me I am benched until I figure out what is going on, I was going through the color guard routine and where we are. I had to run/sprint/jog/march through this and he made us run a lap around the field because we were not sounding off, not even through 1/4 of the lap I could not breathe at all. I felt as if someone was strangling me and crushing me. I felt very heavy chested, wheezing very hard and loud, could not catch my breath for almost 10-15 minutes. Could this be the asthma worsening or something different or both?

Your asthma could be an allergic reaction to some plant if you are exercising outside.. if your climate is very damp like Florida that is not good.

you could see a pulmonary doctor or an allergist to see what is going on now.. or possibly an ear/nose/throat ent specialist. You probably need lab work done and another exam and some kind of x rays

See your doctor right away, it appears that your asthma is worsening, this can be a very serious condition.
