I'm unsure as to whether or not I have asthma, but I know I have breathing problems?

I can be sitting, standing, working out, but sometimes I feel like I can't breathe.
I'm taking in as full of a breath as I can, but sometimes it just feels like no matter how much I breathe, I can't get enough air in my lungs. As though something is pushing against my chest, not allowing it. I don't feel any pain when this happens, but sometimes I freak out because it lasts longer than a few seconds.

I'm starting school soon, and I find it embarrassing. I don't want to be sitting there breathless in class.

I've told my mom, dad, uncle (he used to be a doctor), no one knows what it is. My brother used to get it a LOT when he was my age (I'm fourteen). He's told many doctors, who don't know what it is.
Sometimes I just start panicking and crying, which makes it worse.

I feel like I have to start yawning to get the right amount of air in my chest.

It's so frustrating!

I don't know what this is! I want to ask my mom if I can see a doctor about it, but half of me knows she'll say no.

Taking long, slow breaths just makes it worse.

Some days it doesn't happen at all. I can go weeks without it happening. But it's been happening so much lately. Hourly, for about the past week.

Here, i did some research for you:

same here!! omg. lol didnt we talk about htis like ages ago on aim? idk if it is asthma. but like yea. its like ur taking in full breath but its hard to like fully breathe....lol actually i have it right now, but if i dont think about it, it goes away. and yea, i just calm down and it goes away. =] lol

Maybe. Go get checked!

I have asthma and know what you are going though. Yes, it sounds like you have asthma. Your mother needs to take you to the doctor so they can do some test to find out. It's nothing to be scared about, anyway that will bring on an asthma attack, getting stressed out can bring one on too. You need to stay calm A lot of people have asthma these days. I use the medicine my doctor gave me and it makes me feel better.
