Then,I did the "Killer Abs Workout" which is 20 normal situps, with no break, 20 sit ups with my legs up, with no break do those 3 times, and with no breaks between each set of 20.. So all my muscles are hurting and I can barely breathe, but refuse to take my inhaler because I don't want to have to rely on my inhaler to help my asthma, I want my lungs to sort themselves out.

Heya. I have moderate-severe asthma myself.
It's really NOT a good idea to think that your lungs will "sort themselves out by themselves" because asthma doesn't work that way. You might even be making it WORSE by causing
airway remodeling, which is irreversible.
You might also be causing some of your panic symptoms yourself, as panic attacks and anxiety can come from untreated asthma exacerbations and attacks. Asthma is chronic and there is no cure. Your lungs will not sort themselves out by themselves. You need to avoid triggers, engage in lifestyle changes, and take medication. Many people who are well controlled can go YEARS without any symptoms whatsoever, but you have to take care of your asthma first.
You should take two puffs of your albuterol inhaler 20 minutes before exercising, and that will prevent the chest tightness.
