How to treat severe asthma attack?

I am very new to learning about asthma because my roommate was recently diagnosed. If someone has a severe attack and their blue rescue inhaler is not working at all, what should we do immediately? Should we call an ambulance right away or wait for a few minutes?

While regular breathing exercises can strengthen your lungs when you are healthy, please do not try pranayama during an active, severe asthma attack. Your airways are physically blocked and require immediate emergency medical care and rescue bronchodilator medication. Please go to the hospital right away.

I literally just got discharged from the hospital yesterday after a severe asthma attack. Let me tell you, when you can't breathe, home remedies do not work. I had to use my reliever inhaler, but since it didn't help, my family rushed me to the ER where they gave me immediate nebulizers and oxygen. Don't wait, go to the hospital.

Just like a diabetic emergency, a severe asthma attack requires immediate medical intervention, not home remedies or drinking warm water. If you are struggling to breathe, do not wait or try to self-manage at home. Go straight to the nearest hospital emergency room for proper oxygen support and nebulization.

Please take a deep breath and stay as calm as possible because panicking makes breathing harder! 🌸 If you or someone else is having a severe attack, please use your rescue inhaler immediately and contact emergency medical services right away. Staying safe is the most important thing! 💕
