| Asthma Inhaler |
- An asthmatic patient has to primarily learn to stay calm during an attack. A feeling of fear worsens the symptoms.
- Sit up and try to take slow steady breaths.
- Take one to two puffs of the reliever inhaler.
- If the symptoms persist, continue to take two puffs of the reliever inhaler every two minutes, up to ten puffs.
- Seek medical help immediately if the symptoms persist for a long time.
Remember asthma symptoms can worsen rapidly, becoming life threatening. If symptoms persist, see a physician within 24 hours. Keep track of the triggers that cause asthma attack, and the start and progression of symptoms. Discuss about them with your physician.

I have asthma and I can tell that I am going to get an asthma attack if I am having trouble breathing and it isn't subsiding. The plus to that is that I use an Ventolin Inhaler which helps me breath :) Yes, asthma can happen at any time, it isn't a selective problem, but you have a greater chance of getting an ashma attack if your in an asthma inducing environment.
ashma inducment can be different for some people. There is exercise induced asthma which you mentioned (playing sports) umm, it can be triggered by things such as mold/pollen/dust/aroms/etc. I got an ashtma attack in the mall, becasue Sephora stunk so badly from perfumes and such. Also, people can get asthma attacks from stress as well. To avoid it, avoid the things which causes it, take medicine, use an Ventolin Inhaler.
Asthma care plan is essential to prevent worsening of your symptoms and an asthma attack. It is essential to understand about causes and treatment for asthma attack. However health experts suggested some simple steps to follow for asthma patients :
first take two puffs of reliever inhaler, Sit upright and stay calm,Take slow steady breaths, Incase, if there is no immediate improvement take one puff of reliever inhaler every minute.
