I have had asthma since I was little, it was kinda severe, but now (I'm 20 now) I rarely get asthma attack(4 or 5 times a year). However since I didn't exercise much (my mom was very protective about my asthma she didn't allow me to run or play sports), my stamina is very weak. I have a running course that I must attend at school now, it's a 1500m running course and I feel like I run out of breath very quickly. I mean after only 100-200m I feel like my lung is gonna explode (apart from very fast beating heart and pains throughout my legs and chest because of my weak physique). Should I keep it up or listen to my body ? because it's really frustrated to see all your classmates running ahead and you are limping at extreme low speeds. And at this pace I think I'm not gonna pass this course :( Any help ?

    See a doctor and ask him or her then talk to the instructor.

    You cant run 1500m all of a sudden with asthma. Better see a doc and run regularly to increase stamina.

    I know that a classmate of mine had an injury and asthma, yet she still used to try her best to participate in the exercises for gym class. Its difficult being on the sidelines but trust me after you get outta that whole school setting it will stand for nothing. Dont stress yourself and see if you can get a letter from your doctor to exempt you from running the full course because this could harm your health in the potential future.

    You've had asthma since you "was little" and yet you seem to know less about YOUR condition than many on here who have never had it? That's pretty negligent on your part, isn't it?
    After you consult with a real doctor, not strangers on the internet, I'd venture a guess he'll inform you that you have no business running 1500m at all, if you are really an asthmatic.
    But what the fuck do I know, I'm no doctor and I've never had the condition?
