For any of our patients who suffer from Asthma this is a great article. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition. It can cause the airways in the lungs become inflamed, which can make it difficult to move air in and out. An asthma attack occurs when these symptoms escalate, making it very difficult to breathe. The following actions can help to manage an attack: 1. Sit up straight and try to remain calm. Do not lie down.... 2. Take one puff of a reliever or rescue inhaler every 30 to 60 seconds, with a maximum of 10 puffs. 3. If symptoms get worse or do not improve after 10 puffs, seek emergency medical care. 4. If it takes longer than 15 minutes for help to arrive, repeat step 2. Asthma attacks are potentially life-threatening. Seek help if symptoms do not get better. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321441.php
