Asthma Project

Asthma ProjectBy: Kayla Paupst

A. Right now currently breathing, my nose is clogged. I’m sick. That’s why my nose is clogged.

B. As I breathed like someone with asthma, it felt like there was not a lot of air to breathe in. Almost like I was underwater.

Question 1(this is what I wrote]

C. As I breathed as if I had a pre-asthma attack coming on, I felt as if I could barely breathe at all. It was very hard.

D. I lasted 7 seconds. It was really hard to breathe and near my heart area, it hurt. What changed was it was even more harder to breathe.

Question 1 (what I wrote] *continued*

E. Yes, in a highly populated city, there is more pollution, therefore it would be a lot harder to breathe. As if in a wide open country, there’s wide opened areas

With non-polluted air.

Question 3 & Question 4

Managed: She didn’t take medicine at first, and suffered from a severe asthma attack that almost killed her. She would also try to hide it from her teammates and coaches. But, now she takes her medicine.
