How unfit can we get? i'm 22 okay diet and don't smoke/drink at all..i can't run for 5 minutes without trouble breathing and chest pains on right side

Very unfit: If u are healthy, but a real couch potato, perhaps over weight? You could start to fade after running five minutes. To be sure, see ur doc for a full history, physical and appropriate lab tests, just to be sure you are ok. Good luck.
