Answer 1

Hey, aww thats no good!

you should book an appointment at the doctors as soon as you can because it could be a number things. My first guess would be asthma though mainly because when your gasping for air.

hope i helped and i wish you best of luck =)

Answer 2

You might have asthma but I doubt it, if you have trouble breathing in you could maybe have this thing called vocal cord dysfunction. I have the same thing. You should go to your doctor to ask them about the possiblities about you having both asthma & vocal cord dys. b/c you could have both.  Hope I helped.
