A member asked:
Healthy 17 year old that ran an kept fit up until the last 2 months i have had shortness of breath surely not heart or lung related?

Possible: It is not normal to be short of breath. The first thing that comes to my mind in a physically fit 17 year old is some exercise induced bronchospasm (asthma). Please consult your doc to have a thorough evaluation done.
