I'm 15 years old and suffer from asthma and have bad nerves which cause my breathing to be a bit strabge sometimes. However for the past two weeks when ever I breathe I have like a quite wheezing in my chest however I don't think it's a chest infection as I don't cough at all and I do eat a lot of choclate what could it be the whoopping cough I though

So you get a wheeze in your chest when your not breathing? Maybe something is irritating (sp?) your lungs (air sacs)

Are you having a hard time breathing? What does it feel like? En elephant sitting on your chest?

Do you have an inhaler?

Did you even read what I wrote?

If you have an inhaler use it. If not, get to the hospital.

It would be hard to tell what's going on over the internet

If you have trouble breathing despite the inhaler , go to the er


See a good pulmonologist [ lung doctor ] to have your asthma evaluated and treated with the goal being to reduce or prevent these types of episodes.


Also not all wheezing is due to asthma [ bronchitis, acid reflx, epiglotitis, some medicines, heart failure etc.]

Also the feeling of shortness of breath is not always due to the lungs [ heart, anxiety allergic reaction etc. ]




Goood luck hope you get better.

Is it not a young age to have heart failure at 15 or can you get it at any age

Go to a doctor.

I do not want to worry you about possible things, hopefully it is nothing serious.
It is fear of the unknown that can cause worry, and just facing them can help.
