Having an asthma attack rn without my inhaler please how can i calm it down before day breaks

6 things to do if you do not have an inhaler with you.

Sit upright. Stop whatever you are doing and sit upright. Bending over or lying down can constrict your breathing even more.

Take long, deep breaths. [/b]This helps to slow down your breathing and prevent hyperventilation. Breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

[b]Stay calm. Staying calm may prevent further tightening of your chest muscles and make your breathing easier.

Get away from the trigger. The asthma attack could be triggered by dust, cigarette smoke or the smell of chemicals (e.g., ammonia, chlorine gas, sulphur dioxide). Get away from the trigger as soon as possible and go to an air-conditioned environment or any place with clean air.

Take a hot caffeinated beverage. Hot caffeinated drinks like coffee can help to open up the airways slightly, providing some relief for an hour or two.

Controlled breathing..

Plus good ventilation (fresh air)

It's O.k if you can open your mouth to breath..

And then, use hot water to mop your chest and nose.

BTW: The last thing that should enter your mouth every night is water, pls..

Take care.
