I believe if you are having breathing shortages every once in a while then it would probably be ok but if it happens all the time then you more than likely have Asthma and i am telling what i know because i have it myself.
I have had bronchitis and it was effecting my breathing. My Dr. said from the way that I was breathing it could become asthma. Lately I've been having trouble breathing and chest pains. I have also been experiencing breath shortages. Could this be asthma?

Why a person suffering from asthma can becom breathless?
I personally suffer from asthma. I get very breathless at times. Some people say that people who have asthma are breathless because they are over weight, this is not actually the case. Anyone can have asthma really. People who have asthma get breathless because, their heart is not used to running fast and can not handle it. Also just another note, I think it's because with asthma it causes the smaller airways of the lungs constrict (or close up) which will cause a shortness of breath and make it harder to breath.

Shortness of breath is a symptom of asthma. Other symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, and chest pain or pressure.

For other people, these symptoms are conditional, especially during exercise or when they catch a cold. Because of the variability of this problem, consulting a doctor is the best option if determining whether your shortness of breath is a symptom of asthma or something else.
