Hey, I can relate to your problem. I have asthma too, and used to have those pains off and on. When I was 13 I joined the swim team and that helped tremendously (swimming is the best activity for asthma). I think its just a matter of endurance, however I am not sure. I don't think that an inhaler does much to prevent chest pains, its mostly to clear congestion and help you breathe. I have a medicine called Advair that controls asthma long term. Also, Singulair is a pill that I take daily which also controls the symptoms.
All of these medications were prescribed to me by my asthma doctor, so you should go see one for yourself- they will know exactly what to do.
Hope this helps! :)

You are not obese. And if your chest is hurting you that badly, you need to tell your parents NOW. You need to be checked out by a doctor or emergency room immediately.

Tell your parents first then try breathing into a paper bag slowly. Even if it is not asthma, you may be having an anxiety attack from too much worrying.
