You need to go to the doctor if you are having trouble breathing. It could be something as simple as Asthma or Allergies, but it could be something worse like Pneumonia.

Have you checked with your parents..Do to the element of no history, it is hard to say why your having trouble breathing. Do you have asthma, do you smoke, do you have allergies?? See it is not all that easy to figure this out. The very best thing to do is take the elephant of your chest and get to the physcian. Go tell your parents right away before this gets worse. And if the elephant is not moving get a mouse.

You could be experiencing asthma which can come out of nowhere. There are many holistic things you can do. Try yoga and doing deep breathing exercises and mediation when you feel better. Go to the health food store for remedies. Take out a book on health and find ways to improve your breathing, don't eat to the point of being too full which obstructs the lungs, don't ever smoke or go around second hand smoke, and stay clear of cats. Many people are allergic to them.

For a short term time, u can try applying Vicks VapoRub to you chest for better breathing. Footballers do use it for better breathing while on the pitch.
For the long term, i guess seeing a Doctor is the best.

This can be caused be many factors.....A Cold,Asthma,Pneumonia and other causes such Stress, or Emotional Distress ect. You need to see if any of these items are related to the your dfficulty. If it is related to the medical conditions, you may need to see a physician, if you have never been diagnosed with asthma you may need to have a pulmonary test done...hope this helps.

Are you having a lot of stress? If not it might be you are devoloping asthma. Make sure you tell an adult, or it could lead to you getting much much more sick. Good Luck and feel better soon.

If you have mucus in your lungs in addition to the Vicks buy some over the counter Mucinex and drink plenty of water. It will make it easier to discharge the mucus.

Have your folks get you to an ER asap
Being with oxygen for very long can screw you up for the rest of your life
