Next time you have an episode see a doctor. They can tell immediately if you have asthma. Asthma can be life threatening, even to those without a history of severe attacks

It could be i have a 5 yr old boy with asthma, his symptoms are coughing not wheezing,when he has an asthma attack he will start to cough usually it will start when she is sleeping around 1 or 2 am, or when he wakes up, but it could happend any time of day.Cold weather can also trigger an asthma attack. If you feel you have this symptoms you Have to go a specialist For an evaluation he will do a test were he will determen if you have it or not and what kind of treatment you should be on. I suggest you talk to your parents or if you are in school to the school's nurse. You can find more info on asthma if you visit:

It does sound like asthma to me. You can go to the school nurse as the person above mentionned. Usually a doctor will have to make you take breathing tests to diagnose asthma. Those can be long and costly.
Another simple way to know if it is asthma is to get a Ventolin inhaler and try it if you have trouble breathing (Doctors call that 'therapeutic trial'). If it works, its probably asthma you have, and you have found the medication you need. Ventolin is quite cheap and wont harm you if you do not have asthma.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his bronchial asthma has proven no signal of making improvements to. He has been to a couple of medical professionals however they did not aid a lot. If you desire a established, all-average solution to healing your bronchial asthma, with no need to pay for vain medicines with dangerous facet-results, then that is the major web page you can ever learn.

I recommend you visit www.aafa.org and www.cdc.gov/asthma/. These sites have valuable information on asthma symptoms and prevention.
Good luck!

Your school should have a nurse on campus, go to her / him. You could just be out of shape. But you need to talk to someone to find out.

The school nurse is your next recourse
