Q: Could I Have Asthma?

A couple of days ago my chest started to feel funny. I feel winded and like I can't get enough air in during a breath and at the same time I breathe in it feels like something it pushing my air out, and I feel anxious. It passess in about 5 min. But it comes back later when I do anything active. It worried me enough that I quit smoking cold turkey when it started,( I wasn't a heavy smoker at the time). I don't know what to do, or what to think it could be....I don't have health insurance for another 2 weeks.

It could be athsma...However, if u have not had these symptoms before it is probably just due to your smoking, whether u smoke a lot or a little. If ur symptoms continue I would suggest seeing a doctor. Worst case, it sounds like u just might have exercise enduced athsma. In which case you just take an inhaler before exercising.
