Hi Dear.,
You need to make your parents hear you. For now get some hot tea. That will loosen you up some so you can breath. I personally recommend Mortin or Tylenol verse Asprin but whatever you have is better than nothing. Take you temp. before drinking or taking anything. If you still can't get them to listen tonight prop yourself up in bed. Personally you may have to unset your parents and call 911. Feel better.

Sounds like you might have bronchitis. It's usually accompanied by a dry cough. If you're running the heater, it's probably due to dry air. You can put out a pan of water near your bed and humidify the air; take asprin (2) with food to reduce pain and any inflammation, and drink alot of water. Now go get into a steamy shower and take some deep breaths. I'm sure that will help, as will hot tea or chicken soup. If you have a school nurse, go see her tomorrow. But if you're not coughing up green/yellow mucous, you can do these things and feel alot better. If you don't get better in a day or two, give this to your Mom and Dad! Take the kid to the doctor for God's sake! Godloveya.

I could be a respiratory infection...but from what you are telling me...it sounds more like an anxiety attack...try doing some relaxation techniques...through your nose..take a slow deep breath for 5 sec...hold it for 7 or 8 sec...then slowly release it through your mouth. And research what your triggers may be. Sign your self up for counselling.
If this has been going on for a couple of days...with the chest pain then I wouldn't suspect it to be anything that has to do with your breathing...per say (ie bronchitis, asthma, respiratory infection --pneumonia)

Let your food be your medicine.
WHY WOULD ANYONE USE A DRUG TO OBTAIN SOME EFFECT THAT CAN BE FOUND IN A FOOD? XANGO juice come from mangosteen fruit. Mangosteen is a food. It is found in a commercially available beverage that has produced therapeutic effects in my patients (without the side-effects of drugs) that rival what drugs can do. Do not stop your medications but add the Mangosteen to your meds. We have not seen food-drug interactions with this product. When you have used the Mangosteen for a reasonable period of time (1-2 months), go to your doctor and tell him what you've experienced and ask him to redo blood tests etc... to determine what effect the Mangosteen has had. Then, with his collaboration, reduce or stop the medications that the Mangosteen has made unnecessary. You'll be surprised with the benefits it can provide in chronic illness at doses of one or two ounces before meals, ideally three times daily. For prevention, one ounce a day is adequate."

It sounds like you may have pneumonia or bronchitis. Both illness are very serouse if not treated they will become worse.
Having problems breathing and not able to breathe properly is not keeping the required oxygen levels normal in your body. This is why you feel like you are going to pass out. Your oxygen level is low and this is also dangerouse and can cause death. The low oxygen levels also can cause internal organ damage and brain damage.
Get your parents to look at my information on your computer....You need to go to the hospital ASAP (as soon as possible).
For your parents....I hope you read the information I posted. Please get your son to the hospital right away before this gets any worse.
Good Luck :-)

Tell your teacher, or counselor at school! Tell your girlfriends' mother, maybe she can speak to your parents...It's hard to believe that your parents are aware of your symptons and chose to ignore it. There are so many things that come to my mind with what you are experiencing so you need to go to doctor or emergency room asap. I quess, if you continue to get worse or feel worse now, call 911. This could easily turn out to be very serious. Do you have anyone close to you, to call? Aunt, older sister, friend? Have you been going to school feeling the way you do? If so, go to nurse. Hope you get the help you need!
