Having asthma attack. Have taken ventiolin and seretide

[Heyjudas]

Anything else I can do?

Definitely all asthma, no exacerbation of anxiety? How bad is it - ambulance? 111?

If it's not getting better, go to A&E. Seriously

How many puffs of ventolin? In an emergency you can take 10+, just to hold you until you get medical attention

If your usual dose isn't working though, get medical attention ASAP, DON'T WAIT

If your ventolin is not lasting as long as it should in controlling your symptoms you should seek medical attention

You need to go to A&E

If you’ve not responded to your normal meds you need to get to hospital.
Don’t mess with asthma. Cam someone drive you there?

dont know. Anxiety high with difficulty breathing.

If your inhalers don't help maybe you should ring 111 or 999 for professional medical help.

Ventolin, one puff every 30-60 seconds up to 10 puffs overall. If no improvement call 999, after 15 minutes the up to 10 puffs 30-60 seconds apart can be repeated.

Also echoing other posters. Get to A&E

Is it easing? Have you taken your maximum numbers of puffs?

Do you have an asthma plan to follow?

If youre worsteni g, or if its not eazing, call 999. The paramedics will come and nebulise you - and take you to a&e if that doesnt work.

Dont leave it too long to call help if needed.

Drink a strong cup of black coffee - it helps trust me, call 111, breathe in through your nose out through your mouth slowly.

Call for medical help

no i'm on my own. seems to be settling. I'm breathing a bit.

It's not a get someone to drive you, if you can't breathe paramedics can set up nebs at home/en route, this is what ambulances ARE for

No dont get someone to drive you - call 999 and at least see how long it will take for them to reach you.

A&E if not responding. 999 as emergency.

Do you know why you are having the attack? Allergies, exercise, anxiety?

Seems to be passing. Fuck.

Possibly anxiety, don't have a cold, or chest infection.

I'm in a cold sweat now. What the f was that. Fuck.

Maybe take an antihistamine just in case and write down everything you have eaten just in case it's a food allergy. Terrifying, isn't it? If this happens again, maybe you need to see the doctor. You know you can repeat the ventolin as well, and it WILL make you feel jumpy and anxious. It is both a logical response to the asthma attack and a response to the high ventolin dosage.

I'm fine now, it has stopped. Shit. That fucking scared the crap out of me. Wow, I am soaked through with sweat. Was that a fucking panic attack or an asthma attack? I was taking my ventolin every minute or so.

Try to calm down (the single most irritating thing someone can say when you can’t breathe - Sorry!)
You sound like your coming through it? It’s so bloody scary isn’t it and panicking just exacerbates it.
Go grab a black coffee honestly if you can move without it making you feel worse. The caffeine helps open the airwaves and will help you feel more human.
Keep breathing slowly - you will be fine x

I am asthmatic. I thoight I was having attack on own and freaked out. I had ventolin and a sip of alcohol. The alcohol calmed me and I realised it was a panic instance. If you can breathe, good, but if def wheezing, seek help.
