Asthma

Hi..for a little while know I've wondered if I have asthma. Whenever I do excercise and really exert myself I really struggle to breath for the rest of the night and have to take really deep breaths like I am yawning to try to catch a bit of air, and when I'm actually excercising it feels like something is sitting on my chest.
Should I go to the Dr or does this not sound like asthma atall?
It could be mild asthma like I have. I'd go to the doctors to find out whether it is or not, so if it is you can get an inhaler to be prepared if worst comes to worst :smile:

get youself checked out to the doctors, i had asthma from very young age, its nothing to worry about if you have you just have to look after yourself more.
I got to admit i have asthma , but i have a weird state of mind , whenever i am out of breathe from exercising , i always say to my self "ur unfit , thats y u cant breathe" for some reason having this mental stat has stopped me from having asthma attacks.Sometimes its the state of mind.....

yeah sometimes it is the state of mind, and once you think omg i cant breathe you get worse and worse. i just try to relax myself. but really you should go to the doctor, just in case. good luck!xxx
