Asthma attacks are scary and highly debilitating. They leave sufferers feeling scare and exhausted.

@Sylvia @JazzyC @Cezza83‍ Oh, these all sound scary...especially the "breathing through a straw" description.

I have adult-onset asthma and it doesn't run in my family, so when I started having symptoms and had my first attack which eventually led to my diagnosis it was a surprise. I hadn't been feeling well in the morning but didn't think much of it, and when I went to play some football with friends I had an attack mid-match and ended up losing consciousness. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital with all sorts of tubes and things! It's really changed the way I live my life as I was very active before.
