please talk to me

Call 999 NOW

Try to relax - count slowly as you breathe in and out

stand with your hands on your head, elbows out to open up your lungs

Have you called 999 yet skint?

What helps me is sitting somewhere with plenty of fresh air, like the doorstep, leaning forward so your chest has plenty of space and breathing in deeply through the nose and breathing all of the way out slowly.

But you need to call 999 first!

Please make sure you're empyting your lungs out fully before taking another breath.

It helps to calm you and means you can get more oxygen in there if there's no carbon dioxide left.

And dial 999, please.

Bowen therapy for emergency use and a bit of relief. CALL 999 though. This is not instead of medical help.

foundddd1sinhaler but uts breathactivated, couldnt do it, drank coffee, coughed, bit better, can whisper now, breathe bit better, head hurts

bloody hell i even typelikean astgmatic

Call 999 please. this is important. Please do it now.

can you try the inhaler again now that you're breathing a bit better?

OK, cab to A&E if you're definitely feeling better.

But really, if you're on your own & this bad, & can't use the inhaler, don't hesitate to ring 999.

call 999! you need to get checked

if you still can't speak in complete sentences, you need emergency assessment.

what's stopping you from calling 999?

come on op

this is serious

stop posting and start dialling

OP how are you getting on?

Have you called????

drove to a&e and have been nebulised

thank you so much to everybody who posted xx

So glad you went for help. Hope you're feeling better now.

glad to hear that you're ok.

are you going to make an appt with your GP to re-assess your medications?

and don't feel bad about using ambulance for an asthma attack. it's the most clinically safe option.

had to go in again today, now have steroids. If I don't improve with them they will admit me

Once this episode is under control, have a look at the Buteyko breathing method for asthma.
