Your question is too general because everyone has different situations, especially when it deals with their health. Usually, asthma attacks can be treated successfully if they were controlled at the appropriate time and if the person is in good health. However, there are some cases that are more severe than others, but asthma attacks are usually not fatal as long as the patient is in a doctor’s care. You should talk to your friend’s family for details.

Mine weren’t quite as severe as that, but I survived attacks that sent me to the emergency room on a pretty regular basis when I was a kid. I see no reason to think your friend won’t pull through.

When he does, recommend that he start playing a wind instrument like the flute, or if that’s too girly, trumpet, saxophone, etc. My asthma was terrible until I started playing the flute, which strengthened my lungs, and now I only need to use an inhaler once or twice a month.

I have a friend with severe asthma and he’s landed in the hospital a number of times with really bad attacks. He also has a lot of lung damage from crystal meth and ***** use back when he was a teenager. He has always recovered. I don’t know the details about your friends situation but I’m just saying that my friend has always recovered.

If an attack is going to kill you it’ll do it within the first hour or so and usually before you get to the hospital. Once in the hospital there are many things they can use. They can go as far as putting a tube down your throat and placing you on a respirator in addition to all the medications. These things do not always work. A lot of people still die from asthma. The sooner you get to a hospital the better but sometimes there’s nothing they can do.
From what you’ve said it sounds as if your friend will be just fine.He should hook up with an asthma educational class when he gets out. Ask his Respiratory Therapist for more information on that.
God bless.
