But when I normally play sports I barely get tired
Maybe it is just that you were working hard.
Well maybe there is something wrong with your lungs. Or maybe you have asthma.
Hello, why are you here today?
Well maybe you have asthma because during an asthma attack it is hard to breathe and you normally wheeze.
The next day...
Yes but you need the correct medications.
With asthma am I still allowed to play sports?
During my practice, I was wheezing and it was hard to breathe.
Also, during an asthma attack, your airways close up which makes it hard to breathe.
Yes, that is why you take medicines. Some medicines to take are bronchodilators, antihistamines, and trigger sensitivity reducers.
So that is why it is important to take the correct medications when needed. What kind of medicines are there?
Then you may have to come back and get a better medication.
Asthma can't be cured but it can be controlled with medicines. But if you use a certain type of medicine more than you should, then you might have to change the medicine.
What if my asthma gets worse?
Are there other facts about asthma?
Yes, and now I have medications to help with my asthma.
Yesterday I went to the doctor and he told me about my asthma.
Is your asthma under control?
No but I can control my asthma. Asthma is not treatable.
Also, I can do normal things but I always have to have my inhaler at all times.
Okay, but can your asthma get cured?
Now that you learned about asthma you can live a normal life.
Cold air can worsen your asthma. You should always carry around your inhaler in case you have a asthma attack.
