My doctor tells me im out of shape..?

i am 14 years old. i have been playing sports my whole life. i play soccer, basketball, soccer, softball, volleyball, i run cross country and track, and i swim. last year when i was in 8th grade in the middle of basketball season i realized that my mouth was a tad dry and i couldn't run like normal. and it kept getting worse. and i told my mom to take me to the doctor to check for asthma. and they told me i had exercise induced asthma. i tried 3 inhalers. they would work for about 2 weeks and then stop working. now i went to a pulmonologist (sp?) and they did two breathing tests. one to check for normal asthma, and the other for exercise induced asthma. the both tests came back negative for asthma. and the one for exercise induced asthma had me run on a treadmill for 6 minutes and my heart rate went up too high, and now they are telling me i am out of shape. i will not take that as an answer, i am not out of shape. it just started last year (in the middle on bball season). and i have done sports my whole life with no trouble. i run to stay in shape over the summer, and i sprint on my own. i do suicides. i am not out of shape. can anyone tell me what could possibly be wrong? please? i really like playing sports, they are my life and passion. and i want to play them fr the rest of my life, hopefully competitively. please help? :( umm im 5'6" and i weigh 145 ish if that helps any(please do not call me fat, im not, i just happen to weigh a lot but i am not fat)? here are pics of me playing sports for proof.. im not fat and i look like im in good shape. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=hu5do4&s=5 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=xcrhmp&s=5 in the first one im playing in a soccer game.. i don't look fat at allll, and you can see some muscle in my arms. and in the second picture i am the one shooting the foul shot. once again im not fat and you cann see muscle in my arms and legs. to me it makes no sesne... how am i out of shape for a whole year when i play a sport everyyyy season? what could it be?

It is easy to find out for yourself if you are overweight.

There are charts that say what your weight should be based on your age, sex and height.

So work out your weight and compare to one of these charts to see if you are under/normal/overweight or obese.
