How to calm yourself during an asthma attack?
flora*and*fauna asked:
I am coming down from a bad asthma attack an hour ago. I took my inhaler and tried to keep myself calm. Lst time I was this bad I panicked, took 3 nebulizer treatments and ended up calling an ambulence. This time I tried to talk myself down so I didn’t panic. I’m wondering what other people do while they are trying to calm themselves down and it feels so scary in those first 15-30 minutes until the lungs relax.

Try closing your eyes, focus on your breathing. I’ve had asthma forever, like 41 years, and it’s hard to calm yourself. Drinking hot coffee, take your bra off if your a girl, it will release a little more pressure.
