Lately I've been trying very hard in gym class. I have asthma attacks often after, either because I'm not used to exercising that hard or I am allergic to exercising a lot. I can't call the nurse because it's the end of the schoolday and she's out. If I keep on exercising that hard, will the asthma attacks go away? They are not very painful and last for only about 20 minutes.

No, they will not go away, you need to see a dr about controlling your asthma. There are pills and inhalers and long acting steriod inhalers, and you need to know how to control your asthma so you do not get asthma attacks. Also, talk to your dr about if you should be taking PE classes. My daughter's PE teacher told her she had to take PE and don't even think about trying to get out of it, but we talked to the dr and he said he didn't realize she was still taking PE and of course she could be excused, so she had an extra elective.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

Sorry, but they will NOT go away. In fact if you continue to exercise and have asthma attacks they could get worse - even fatal if left untreated. You need to tell your parents ASAP. You need to see the Dr who is treating your asthma to let him/her know about these episodes. You will probably need an asthma controller medication in addition to a fast acting inhaler. Don't wait, talk to your parents NOW - call your Dr today, tell the nurse what is going on and get the soonest available appointment! Literally, your life could depend on it! People do die of asthma attacks because they don't take them seriously and don't get proper treatment.
Go talk to your parents RIGHT NOW!!!!

Both are quite possible added to any allergies and/or infections and having one doesn't exclude the other but actually cause it, you should go with a specialist for full review. You dont give much valuable details about these two separated insidents. Asthma could even be deadly if untreated, therefore any condition alike it should reviewed and treated properly

Pay attention to your heart rate when exercising, and if you get an asthma attack find your heart rate. If your heart is beating to hard that helps complicate an asthma attack. Learning to maintain your target heart rate will help you to exercise longer and possibly reduce your attacks. Back off on your intensity, not much perhaps 10 percent less then what you have been going at.
That will help main tain a more steady heart rate!

Go see a pulmonologist or your pediatrician to properly diagnose you and get you on the proper medicine.
Your asthma may occasionally decrease when you wait it out, but it may also get worse and land you in the hospital. Your asthma needs to managed by a health care professional.

You have excercise induced asthma. You certainly aren't allergic to excercise! And, no, they will not go away.
You need to let your parents know or talk to the school nurse when she is in her office. There are inhalers you can use that will take care of the problem.

This is exercise-induced asthma and you should take an inhaler before you start exercising. But first, naturally, see your doctor.

i also suffer from asthma during work-outs , this is when my body temperature changes due to exertion so i always carry an inhaler to ease my breathing then i move on. maybe if you keep on exercising your body will get adjusted to it. do it moderately and always be cautious.
