Since you are new to running, a few suggestions.
1) Make sure you are properly hydrated. Drink 8-16 oz of water an hour before running. If you run longer than 15 minutes, you should carry a water bottle with you as well, and take small sips as you run.
2) Pushing yourself is important, but not to the complete level of exhaustion. If you start to feel really out of breath, usually it is ok. But if other symptoms start following, like a sick feeling, dizziness, etc, then you either need to slow your pace, or walk for a couple minutes, then continue.
If you run 4-5 times a week, you should start seeing improvement over time, as your heart starts getting used to the stress.
