What happens if you feel like your having an asthma attack but you don’t have and inhaler?
Author: Every time I feel like I am going to have an asthma attack I can't use an inhaler because my parents don't believe me when I say I have asthma no matter how many times I tell them. I was looking up the signs on the internet and I have a tickle in the back of my throat, I cough all the time, I have the shortness of breath and all the symptoms so I don't know why they don't believe me! Thank you to whoever answers this!
Kiddo I am sorry for you, Nothing is worse than not being able to breath!
Next time you go to the doctor have the doctor lend your mother or father his stethoscope and have them listen to the wheezing. A cheap stethoscope can be purchased for about 10 bucks, the doc may even give you one. Then the next time you feel SOB have them listen to your lungs. If you aren't wheezing you don't want to use a bronchodilator. But if you are you should.
The steam thing the one person answered is incorrect! it can exacerbate an asthma attack… don't do it.
Drink strong regular tea iced or hot doesn't matter. It has natural theiophyline which works as a great bronchodilator.
