Asthma? Bad allergies? Just from lots of running and heat?

So like an hour ago i had a field hockey game. We didn't have any subs (i play midfield=most running) and it was really hot. We were getting plenty of water and i drank A LOT and i really don't think i was dehydrated. But the whole game i was fine, then the last 10 minutes of the game i have to admit i was sprinting that much harder to get the last goal in to win. Well in the last 10 minutes this is what happened:
*it felt like a combination of choking or about to throwup, more of a choking feeling.
*i basically ran off the field because it was that bad
*once i got off i couldn't breathe, AT ALL, like it i knew that air was going in but it seemed like there was a hole in my throat or something and the air was escaping before it got to my lungs
*i started crying because i have to admit it was scary and by then my coach knew something was wrong and then she started kinda panicing because she said it honestly sounded like i was having a really bad asthma attack
*i have had an inhaler in the past because when my allergies get bad i needed it, but i haven't needed it since lie 5th grade (am now in 9th). i know everyone gets winded after sprinting but this wasn't winded it was more like choking on air.

Do you think it is asthma? or just the really bad allergies again? Should i look into getting an inhaler again? It was really scary and it took a good 20 minutes to finally be able to breathe somewhat normal. Oh yeah i don't know why but even now (like almost 1 hour 30 minutes later) i still am having trouble catching my breathe and am breathing very heavy.

PLEASE HELP!!! it is really scary and i don't want to have to experience that again.

it sounds like you had an asthma attack. i have severe asthma and all of your symptoms sound like that's the problem. you should go to your doctor and get put back on an inhaler. you could just have athletic asthma because you're only experiencing symptoms when you run or sprint.

p.s. i played the same position in field hockey in high school and my asthma was awful during games. so when you get an inhaler i would recommend taking it a half hour before a game.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.
