i recently moved back to college, and ive never had breathing problems. i dont smoke or anything, and im not too out of shape or overweight. but when i climb those 4 flights of stairs, im out of breath... but no matter how hard i try, i cant get enough air, and its scary because i cant breathe properly and i get lightheaded dizzy and my vision blurs... could this be asthma? does it sound like asthma?

check our O2 saturation with a finger monitor most healthcare professionals in hospitals, nursing homes etc. have access to one that simple clips on your finger. good place to start. (Your red blood cells must carry sufficient oxygen through your arteries to all of your internal organs to keep you alive. Normally, when red blood cells pass through the lungs, 95%-100% of them are loaded, or "saturated," with oxygen to carry. If you have lung disease or other types of medical conditions, fewer of your red blood cells may be carrying their usual load of oxygen, and your oxygen saturation might be lower than 95%. Your blood oxygen level can be measured in two ways. )

There are several possible causes including asthma but if you didn't have asthma previously, I would suspect an allergy to dust, pollen, etc. I would certainly go to a physician for an evaluation. It would seem that because of your age that it is unlikely to be emphysema. In any event get checked, there can be other reasons this could occur.

I had a similar situation, yet i dont have coverage, and when I were given sick i figured it would get more beneficial positive, under no circumstances did, instead i had to make 4 doctor visits includding a pro...pass to the hospital...its more beneficial positive, ive been sick for roughly a month once i discussed a pro i felt sooo mcuh more beneficial positive. once you've coverage, pass ahead dont enable it worsen and performance it intervene with you life.

You need to see your dr. soon! It does sound like exercise induced asthma. He can perform some simple tests and take it from there, good luck to you.

I'd get it checked out by the doc, it might be something worsethan asthma, or at lest if it is asthma, they can give you something to treat it...

You need to see a doctor.
There is "exercise induced asthma" but you need a diagnosis

sounds like u're having a panic-attack if the only the only time u'll get it is from the stairs. see a doc or therapist.
