For the sufferer, not being able to breathe properly is frightening. The person may have no idea when the symptoms may relax, if at all, and the additional stress will further aggravate the condition.

For an observer, there is no way to be sure exactly what is happening, as shortness of breath can be a symptom of several conditions. Families of asthmatics are more likely to recognize the onset and know what to do.

You cannot control your asthma during an attack, you must go to the hospital or you could possibly suffer/die from anesthetic shock or your throat could swell up and possible close.
