Hello, everyone!!
Could you tell me which is better, "it" or "I"?
Sometimes if I do too much exercise and I haven't taken my inhaler before, ("it" or "I") just start(s) to get really wheezy. |

I get wheezy is correct.
Why?
Because in the sentence you are talking about yourself. Wheezy describes the strange noise made when the person has difficulty breathing. An inhaler, 'it', is an object not a person, therefore cannot get 'wheezy', so it has to be the person who gets wheezy, therefore you should use 'I'. |
