Not OK: You don't mention playing on grass or if you are a half running the whole game. Here are possibilities: are your airways tightening up? Coughing or wheezing? Cold air can make exercise induced bronchospasm (like asthma) worse are you parched and dry? Sub out and hydrate up are allergies making you choke up? Air pollutants or playing on grass? Heart pounding too fast? Get more fit, get seen.
