From what you describe, there's a good chance you have asthma, or it may just be a nasty allergic reaction. You should definitely go see a doctor and explain everything to him or her. The doctor is the only person who can tell you with any certainty what is going on and perhaps prescribe any medicines you may need to treat your condition.

you probably have asthma, but only a doctor (or nurse) can say for sure. see one as soon as you can! if you have trouble convincing your mom that it's serious, then go to a school nurse or find someone else who can help you make the case. (asthma is REAL and it can be scary when you have an attack) there are TONS of new medicines that can help, whether your asthma is mild or severe. i had pretty mild asthma, but even if it doesn't bother you every day, you need to have the right medicine so it doesn't sneak up on you. GOOD LUCK GODSPEED!

You need to tell your Mom and go to the doctor. You are describing the classic signs and sysptoms of asthma. Many things can bring on asthma, but one of the things is climate changes. If a cold front comes in, a person with asthma can go from being fine to unable to breath effectively. PLEASE GO TO THE DOCTOR it is serious that you be able to move air effectively and give oxygen to your body.

First of all-Don't go to ANSWERS for advice on medical conditions. GO TO YOU DOCTOR. This could be an allergy
flair up or it could be something else. Go see your doctor.
