Hello everyone,

How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion? emoticon cute

On some occasions, a severe asthma attack can require admission to hospital in order to treat it and calm the symptoms.

Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever had to go to A&E for an asthma attack? What were the circumstances?

Hi everyone 

I have had asthma since the age of 4.  I have had multiple hospitalizations,  intubation and have had both hips and shoulders replaced because of steroid treatment for my asthma.  My asthma is as severe as it gets.  It causes me depression and I am permanently disabled.  Those that say asthma is no big deal are very mistaken.  I have been incubated 5 times and comatose 9 times

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with asthma when I was in high school. When I was in my first year in college, I had gone to a friend's engagement party at a social club, which has since closed down and been converted into a store that sells different types of uniforms and sports clothing.

during the party I had started to feel unwell and I had thought that it was my asthma starting as I was too hot, so I had gone outside the social club to get some air and was closely followed by my middle sister and her partner and the guy I was dating at the time.

I hadn't been outside long when I began to feel worse, so my boyfriend at the time rang for an ambulance as I was struggling to breathe and my inhaler wasn't working and also I was feeling really unwell.

I was admitted to a ward and my then bf was sat with me and we were talking about this and that, when my asthma suddenly started up again (as it had calmed down whilst I was in the ambulance) but my inhaler wasn't working again, so my boyfriend at the time went to look for a nurse for help. Once he'd found a nurse, she checked me over and she had to get two porters to swap my bed with another bed as the oxygen connections near my bed wasn't working, so I had to be moved from being near the window to near the door so that the nurse could put me on oxygen so she could go and find a doctor to check .e over and to prescribe me a nebulizer as the doctor would be able to tell the nurse which would be the right nebulizer for me.

Thankfully between the oxygen and nebulizer my asthma settled down. 

I was using both the oxygen and nebulizer as the nebulizer was too much for me on its own.
