You need to go to hospital.

Stay calm, think about each breath. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Lose any tight clothing.
Stay sat up.
Get fresh air if you can.
Breath in through your nose, out through your mouth.
Concentrate on your breathing.
Have a warm drink if poss,
Most of all, stay clam.

Take care x

If your rescue inhaler is not working then it is a good idea to go to a&e an get checked out. Dont drive yourself.

Any better?

Black coffee can be helpful. Even doctors told me to use that.

My brother has asthma, and I think I have it, but my doctors [[I have Crohns Disease.]] say I don't.

Try breathing calmly and maybe lock yourself in the bathroom, put your head in your sink, and turn the hottest water on. Put a towel on your head and breathe in the steam.

After that, have warm water. Then call someone you trust to take you to the ER.

Good Luck!
