Alice asked:


My chest is sort of tight, but I feel really lightheaded. Been cleaning the attic where I’m encountering a lot of dust, which I’m allergic to. Had to take a short break b/c I feel kind of lightheaded. I’m not gasping for air or anything. Just tight in the chest.

Is it common that an asthma attack could happen and you just feel a little tightness and also lightheaded?

I have athletes asthma, I have never had an attack but my lungs get tight when I run and I can’t run for more than 5 minutes consecutively.

I started running only 3 days ago mind you..

But do you think it is possible for me to be able to learn to run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes?
I’ve got about 7 months to be able to run this.
