YES SEE A DOCTOR. And if you really feel you can not catch a breath you need to go to a ER

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

See a Doctor for a diagnosis even if its only a seasonal allergy. Over the counter remedies hardly ever work very good. I have asthma and the DR. prescribes an inhaler called Combivent, works great and you only use it as necessary.

Wheezing is definitely a big part of asthma. Being tired quickly after running and experiencing big gasps for air is also another symptom. You could have a clearer definition here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print/ency/article/000141.htm
I hope I came of use to you!

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his bronchial asthma has shown no sign of convalescing. He has been to quite a few docs yet they did not help plenty. in case you prefer a shown, all-organic thank you to therapy your bronchial asthma, while not having to pay for ineffective drugs with risky part-outcomes, then that's the main crucial web site you will ever examine.

Could be -- before you get too concerned, does asthma run in your family? Please remember that it's Spring now, and there are tons of allergens in the air. Perhaps all you need is a decongestant.
I wish you good health!
