Is it possible to pass a lung capacity test but still have asthma?

I had a lung capacity test done at work last week. I am a member of the fire brigade and we have annual testing done. The Dr. told me that I passed it and had actually done quite well.The same results as last year. My problem occurs when I run. I have a hard time breathing. Shortness of breath, chest is tight and burning, and then I start coughing after I finally do catch my breath. Then I'm constantly clearing my dry throat. Can anyone tell me if this sounds like asthma?

Is it bad to smoke marijuana ocasionally if I have asthma?

I'm talking like smoking it at the very MOST once a week. Can that have a big impact on my asthma?

I just have normal asthma, it was not induced by smoking cigarettes. I had asthma before i started smoking cigarettes and then i realized that was a REALLY bad idea [durr].

so I'm just wondering how dangerous it will be for me to smoke marijuana.

Thanks

What is a good way to deal with depression without going to a counselor?

My girlfriend of 5 years left me about 3 weeks ago, little did she know that i had bought and engagement ring for her. And about a week ago a cousin of mine died over seas in Iraq. Him and I were really close he was like a younger brother to me, we hung out together all the time he was pretty much my best friend, besides my old girlfriend. I have tried to get my girlfriend to come back to me but she just doesn't want to. Ever since she left I have been really depressed and everyone at my job notices a change in me, I just don't tell them cause its really not there business. I guess my question is is there a way to deal with depression without going to a counselor, or taking any pills? Am I able to go to something like a local rehad center? I am interested i knowing what you all have to say.
