Hi there, I have this fear that's plagued me on and off for the past few months and I need to put it to rest now. Some input would be appreciated.
Several months ago I began feeling short of breath. This would happen a lot at school - it seemed triggered by heat or by minimal exercise (for example, walking up a flight of stairs would cause me to feel short of breath for a long time afterwards). I doubt this is an "out of shape" thing. I exercise regularly and have a healthy BMI.
I coughed a lot during this time too, and over the next few weeks I went to Urgent Care twice and eventually took a test at my Doctor's - I did not have asthma. My doctor told me that I had an upper respiratory infection and I was treated accordingly.
The fear went away as the school year ended, but unfortunately it has returned. The past few days I have felt very out of breath. This morning, I was singing and I felt out of breath for a long time after. I'm worried that I have asthma even though I was already tested three months ago!! Please tell me this is a normal symptom, or that there's a less severe reason for it than asthma!
