Does this sound like asthma?

Question

I decided to join cross country at school this year. I began running in the summer before school to prepare myself. Every time i ran i had to stop after like 15 minutes because i started breathing really heavy. Today at our first cross country practice i started breathing so heavily after only about 2 or 3 minutes of running. We only ran for like 10 minutes. I had to walk most of it. I had really bad shortness of breath and it got to the point where i would breath in then out and i would make this squealing sound when breathed out. I got some chest pains. I finished last. I know just getting over a cold can cause that but i haven't had a cold in at least a year. I wasnt born with asthma but can't you develop it over time? I do have allergies and they are pretty bad. I heard that allergies can cause the development of asthma. I'm 13 years old. I weigh about 105lbs. im like 5'4. I've tried to tell my mom so she can take me to the doctors but shes not getting the hint. And if i told her i thought i had asthma she would flip on me and say i didnt. So, Do you think it is possible that i have developed this or no?

Answer 1

I think it is possible that you developed asthma, but you should talk to your doctor about it. A lot of kids have asthma now, that its really common. Try to explain to your mom that you think you have asthma, but your not sure, & that you want to get it checked out to make sure.
