So, I have been running lately, and have encountered a difficulty. When I run, even for just five minutes, I get extremely out of breath, extremely swiftly. My muscles are not tired, its just I can’t breath. I get really short of breath and I cough alot and wheeze and there is tightness in my chest. Is this asthma? I am not in very good shape, so I believed possibly that could be the cause, but even right after I have been running for a few days, this still takes place. What do you believe?

I was like that, utilized asthma drugs but did not boost , till they diagnose that I had beneath active thyroid. Right after some time taking thyroid drugs the asthma disappeared.
Asthma is a possibility if you’re wheezing, but most likely you’re just out of shape. Your body wants more oxygen than your lungs are supplying, so it pumps more blood to your lungs. Poor lungs, their blood vessels are already working at capacity, so the extra pressure only forces fluid across the capillary walls and dumps fluid into the lungs, which of course isn’t going to make them work any better. (What you’re coughing up is probably salty and maybe a bit frothy – that’s basically plasma, the liquid part of blood that’s able to cross the walls of capillaries.) Unless you’re unable to catch your breath again when this happens, continue training and the problem should go away in 4-6 weeks.
Instead of running for five minutes and then collapsing on your back with your feet in the air in a death agony, try alternating walking and running, starting with more walking than running and building up to more running than walking.
