Question:
What does an asthma attack feel like?
For those of you who have experienced them, could you explain what they feel like in full detail? I'm interested.
Answers:
for me, its a cough that starts small, then gets wheezy within minutes, and then doesn't stop. You feel like there is no air, literally gasping down a lungful of nothing. Sort of like a scuba mask with someones fingers over most of the airway.
It hurts, and sometimes you don't even realise you are having an attack because you are running out of air and can't think straight. So family members should be trained to listen and watch for the signs too. I have medicine so it doesn't bother me at all....if I have an attack, I get over it. I don't have them often luckily.
