Alright Marissa let's get you to the doctor to see what they can do to help you.
Coach Williams it is getting really hard to breathe. I feel like my throat is closing up too.
Alright Marissa you said you were having trouble breathing when running the mile today, so lets check your breath sounds and lungs. I also took a look at your medical records and both your parents have asthma, so you most likely do too.
AHHHH! It's really hard to breathe and I feel like my chest is really tight.
Alright Marissa let's get you to the Pharmacist to get your medication
Sounds like a case of Asthma, I'm going to prescribe you a Ventolin Inhaler to help you breathe better.
Ventolin is a Bronchodilator. The generic name is Albuterol, and it is and Inhaler that opens or dilates the airways allowing you to breathe better. It is a small metal canister with a mouth piece. You will hold this in a upright position, place the mouthpiece in your moth, and press down on the metal canister while inhaling. Make sure to take a deep breath when you push down to make sure the drug reaches the lung and doesn't stay put in your mouth too.
Side effects include nervousness or shakiness, headache, throat or nasal irritation, and muscle aches that should go away after a few weeks of using the medication. You should also give 2 puffs every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
