Firstly, im not fatty (age 26, don't drink/smoke and weigh about 10 stone) but i like the idea of keeping fit. I try and run a mile or two once a week in the middle of the night.

Problem 1 - As soon as im finished, my chest feels tight, like when you had asthma as a kid. My breathing is wheezy and this last for about an hour after exercising. I cant understand it, my lifestyle is healthy, with the exception of my diet not being perfect, so cant understand why my breathing is so poor.

Problem 2 - Indegestion while running. Example, i went for a run now, after eating a slice of pizza, some salad and potato wedges, 4 hours ago. Halfway through the run, im burping loads, acid burn in the throat and pretty bad indegestion, relieved temporarily by big long pizza burp (lmao). Why does this happen? I mean, 4 hours should be more than enough. Are we saying i should only exercise when i've not eaten for 5 or 6 hours or so? I find that this happens with pretty much any food, regardless of what type it is.

Any ideas?
