Content: If you get worse or don’t improve, then you should get help now. Call for emergency medical help and take these steps while you wait for help to arrive. Take medication and move away from triggers
As soon as you notice symptoms of an asthma attack, such as wheezing or chest tightness, take your rescue inhaler. Pay attention to whether you may have been exposed to allergens that trigger your asthma, such as pets or cigarette smoke. Move away from any source of allergens. Ask someone to stay with you
It’s risky to be alone if you’re having an asthma attack. Let someone in your immediate area know what’s happening. Ask them to stay with you until your symptoms improve or emergency help arrives. Sit upright and try to stay calm
During an asthma attack, it’s best to be in an upright posture. Don’t lie down.
