Serevent is a dangerous drug that is responsible for many fatalities. There was an FDA public health warning about it in February. If used at all, it is reserved for very severe conditions that have not responded to other treatments. The tightness you feel is a side effect. You probably also have dry mouth. In any case, your condition does not warrant its use. Your doctor is an incompetent jerk.

Serevent is not a rescue medication. That means that it is long-acting and does not give immediate relief. So taking it before you play sports is nonsense. What you need is a simple albuterol inhaler. I use MaxairAutohaler. That works fine. And it won't kill me.
