Answer 1

It seems you are out of shape. If you had asthma you would feel breathless any time, not just after excersise. Symptoms of asthma: breathless, chest pain, cough, and a typical noise called sibilants ( is like a whistle inside your chest), it does not stop until you receive the right medication.

Answer 2

usually when u push ur lungs beyond its capability, u will feel that tight pain, i had that when i first started long running...ur body is increasing ur lungs capacity just like how muscles build....however, if it takes more than 5 min to catch ur breathe, thats a problem

Answer 3

you shouldnt run so much at one time.

start off slow in the beginning, and work your way up.

:]

and

no you dont have asthma.
