Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having problem after playing sports football. Hence on first impression it seems like muscular strain. But dyspnea also present hence allergy to dust in ground can be the cause like that in asthma. Your work up done are as follows:
-Auscultation
-CBC
-Chest x ray
-Spirometry if needed
-EKG
According to cause specific treatment is given. If no specific cause is found than it is muscular strain or pain for which ibuprofen drug is prescribed and rest is advised. Strenous work avoided for few days. Consult a pulmonologoist for examination with keeping all this in mind.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
