Hello there,
So back in 2009, at age 17 weight 120, i used to run for 15 minute straight. And after that i have stopped running until recently. Now i cannot manage to run for one minute without feeling chest pain short of breath, and legs pain.. i weight 165 now. I don't smoke cigarettes, i only vape for the past 2 years if that matters. So my question is what can i do to get back into running? I am willing to do anything that's possible to get back.

Also might be a good idea to have a word with your GP before you start.
Do you warm up before you start to run or just go straight into running? And what pace do you run at for that minute? It's possible that if you're going straight into running then you're kind of 'spiking' you're heartbeat and the breathlessness you feel is your heart trying to cope with suddenly being pushed in action. If you've already raised your heartrate then it's not such a shock for it. When I warm-up I generally feel more breathless with that than I do when I start to run.
Additionally it might be an idea to invest in a heartrate monitor so that you can check to make sure you're running within a defined heartrate zone. The upper limit is generally 220bpm - your age, which would be 193 (if my maths don't fail me).
Good luck.
