Asthma attacks
If you're on the right asthma treatments and managing your asthma well, your chance of having an attack is greatly reduced.
Every 10 seconds somebody has a potentially life threatening asthma attack so you need to:
- understand what an attack is
- recognise the symptoms
- know what to do if you have an attack
- know what to do after an attack
Visit the NHS website for more information about asthma attacks and what to do if you have one.
The Asthma UK website has emergency advice if you're having an attack. They've also published an asthma attack recovery plan which explains the best ways to stay well after an asthma attack.
