I have asthma attacks quite often, and I'm telling you, it is not fun. It hurts so bad, and I feel like i'm gonna die for a split second, so this video is reaalllyyy important.

Good thing this video exists, in second grade I was playing outside with my best friends and my one friend has asthma and all of a sudden he started having an asthma attack and my other friend and my first instinct was to run inside to get his puffer but the principal told me "No he can get it himself" and I'm over here like "MY BEST FRIEND IS OUTSIDE ON THE GROUND PRACTICALLY DYING!!!" I ended up shoving her out of my way and then my teacher was like "where were you?" And I simply said "I was politely getting my best friend's puffer" long story short I got detention and the principal ended up calling my mom and she was not happy with my principal she was like " YOU'RE GONNA GET MAD AT MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR SAVING HER BEST FRIENDS LIFE!?" and I ended up going home early

Okay, but remember that when a person uses a spacer, they need to take 3-4 breaths through it in order to receive the full amount of medication. Also if the spacer whistles, they're breathing too fast.

I had an asthma attack after running laps during PE. Yesterday my asthma was acting up but you have to run. You HAVE to! If you don't run and you don't have a note then they tell at you to run. So I ran and when we were lining up I started wheezing coughing and having trouble breathing. The kid in front of me asked if I had asthma and I nodded. My friend went up to the PE teacher and instead of sending me to get my inhaler do you know what she told me to do? She told me to breathe through my nose! Like lady I'm breathing through my mouth bc I CANT breathe through my nose! Long story short it lasted the entire PE and I was never sent to get my inhaler...

I feel like a doctor each time I watch these videos.

She is taking her inhaler too fast it won’t get down too her lungs, it will only sit in her throat😒

I had an asthma attack in gym glass years back and they told me to “walk it off” like what!!

[mikenahbailey]

Every PE day we have we have to run for 3 minutes before class and I always take my inhaler beforehand because the medicine takes about 15 minutes to kick in. So I still have asthma attacks every single time and I feel dizzy and I’m wheezing and coughing every single time. It usually starts between the first minute or 2 too so I have to just deal with it for another minute at least. I also can’t walk because “yOu HaVe An InHaLeR fOr A rEaSoN”

My sister and mom has asthma, so this will be useful

[doublef]

I have asthma and i would say, besides the inhaler and a compfortable position, it's impotand to stay calm an calm down them down if they are paniking. And remind them to breath out, becauce by tryign to get more air in the lung we often dont exhale properly. And so the lungs will fill up with used air.

I almost died last night due to an attack. It was the scariest experience of my life

[estari]

I am having symptoms everyday of an asthma attack and also panic attacks. This video is very helpful.

[sophiaandelibyars]

Thank you so much you made me stay calm because if you would have not said that if I want to head as much time because of the smoke I would die if I had it how you said use my inhaler thank you thank you for saying that
