Open Question: I’m 16, I’m not sure if I have asthma/lung problems or a heart problem?

December 3rd, 2009 | by admin | Open Question: I’m 16, I’m not sure if I have asthma/lung problems or a heart problem?
Sometimes I get shortness of breath, and I can’t run long distances without getting out of breath. I get bronchitis sometimes but I’m not sure if it’s related. I use a regular inhaler which always helps my shortness of breath when it happens. I also cough a lot, a few times a day, not painful coughing, and when I cough sometimes mucus comes up. I also get a stuffy nose and sinus headaches a lot. Is this a serious heart problem? Because some kid in my school last year had heart disease and his heart just randomly stopped when running and he dropped dead.
I also smoke, but PLEASE don’t lecture me about it, I know how bad it is for me and I’m trying to quit, but if your answer is only gonna consist of a smoking lecture, don’t bother.
Also, when I exercise or run long distances for a while, I start to cough and wheeze.
Any non-lecture answers?
