im having trouble breathing.. whats wrong with me?

Question

i haven't been running lately, only for a little bit every few days but it hasn't started to hurt to breathe until today. the last time i rain was a week ago. im 17 and i've never had asthma. yesterday and the day before i was feeling lightheaded and when i stood up a headache immediately struck me. i have to take deep breaths and the only way to get a full breath is to yawn. what should i do??

Answer 1

Go see the doctor to find out what's wrong. Meanwhile, rest alot and don't do things that need alot of energy. And drink water.

Answer 2

The questions here amaze me - go see a doctor. If you are 17, usually are able to run and now are suddenly having problems breathing how do you expect someone here to tell you what is wrong?

Firstly - you can develop asthma at any age
Secondly - you might have pneumonia and not realize it - I did last July
Thirdly - any time you get a sudden headache and can't breathe it could be something serious

Hope you are still healthy enough and alive to read this note
GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!!

Answer 3

Hi, i think you are not in shape, maybe you have some stress and can be just a little panic attack. walk first faster and if you feel the same symptoms, go to your doctor and tell him your symptoms, you are to young to have this problems. i hope this will help you.

Answer 4

Are you getting enough fluids before and during your run? You could be dehydrating.

Answer 5

You must be retarded if you feel the need to ask this question on the Internet instead of seeing a doctor. I mean, it's only breathing, right? Duh....

Answer 6

You could have done something to your back or breast bone, please go and see a doctor.
