Asthma is the worst thing you guys don't want to have to deal I have asthma at first it was well controlled now the symptoms are starting to return.

When people see me use my inhaler they think it's so cool. Like I wish I could legit give them my asthma for like a good week and see how they live.

Because of asthma I can't even sleep properly :(

It feels like breathing through a s straw the most extreme one I had it felt like breathing threw a coffee straw I could get anything out it also triggers my anxiety not fun!

thankfully my asthma is minor, but exercising really gets it going. i once almost passed out from asthma on my birthday due to my teacher who forced me to run longer. my doctors had me take an allergy test to see if anything is making it worse. only dust mites came back positive for me to be allergic to. on new years eve i had an asthma attack and my mom was wondering why i was panicking, for all dhe knows, it was a coughing fit. but boy oh boy do i feel so much pain. i had to explain to her that my throat feels weird and how i get this weird taste and how my head hurts from it feeling cold under my skin. its weird to explain it, but it just feels absolutely miserable

Trying to sleep but Im having an asthma attack..Spitting mucus rn

Hey guys, just wanna share my experience with asthma here. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was about two, and it came as no surprise since my grandmother had really bad asthma. So when I was small, I would have to spend a night or two at the hospital every week. It went like that until I was 7. I got better and didn’t have to use preventative meds anymore. In the next 5 years, I would only have a few problems with breathing that would immediately go away when I used Ventolin. And when I came into adolescence, my doctor thought that my asthma had completely went away. However, this afternoon when I was at school, an attack suddenly strike. I couldn’t breath at all and had to go to the hospital. Now I’m feeling better but that was scary. It has been about 2-3 years since I last had any problem breathing, and almost 7 years since an attack this bad. I never expected that I would have to experience this again after that long. Doctors think this sudden attack was triggered by air pollution, as the pollution in my city has been pretty bad the last 2 months. My doctor told my mother and I that most asthma patients they have treated this week are teenagers, and some didn’t even have any past asthma attack. It just came out of the blues and completely terrified their parents, as their children have never had this crazy thing before. All and all, I think that air pollution worsens our asthma a lot. It’s scary how random an asthma attack can come so if you have any past attack, or are allergic to a few things, make sure to bring your inhaler with you. It may save your life.

I remember being in 4th grade and getting a cough and my mom was like "it'll go away" and so it didn't it got to the point to where it hurt to breath and it hurt when i cough so my mom was like "this ain't normal" so we went to the doctor and he was just like "its just a cough so here's some medicine" and i finish 3 bottles of that stuff before he was like " you know what you should probably go to another doctor" i was just starting 5th grade when we went to the other doctor because mine SUCKED it took him a year to realize my "cough" wasn't just a cough anyway we went to the other doctor and he ran some tests and was like "yep ya got asthma" and the other doctor(bad one) was like "and i oop😯" and my mom was like "pinche pendejo" and i still have asthma the stuff is permanent now👍

I wish I never had this, it's ruining my life I can't even play the sports I love and I'm scared to hang around people because of my asthma. I just want to be normal like everyone but I can't do that because my asthma easily triggers. No matter what

Ive had a form of asthma my whole life but my mother chose to overlook it and never let me get medically examined for it. I used to be very active and sporty when i was younger. I thought violent coughing fits, excess mucus build up, the taste of blood, and trying to 'catch my breath' for hours after was normal for exercise, in hindsight thats incredibly ridiculous. I'm now a sophmore in College and I've never had this issue addressed because of my parents stubborn perspective, and asthma is still with me. I'm going to take the first step and get medically examined and hopefully learn how to be healthy and fit despite my circumstances; anyone who is not getting proper treatment in childhood should ask for help, if not your parents maybe your school can direct you to the help you need.

I have tightness in my chest I can’t breathe and it hurts to breathe. I can’t take deep breathes at all. When I breathe my chest hurts so bad. Worst thing is I have a horrible headache

The thing is i have asthma and I'm faster than all my freinds

My chest feels like it's stuck to my lungs and my nose feels like it's full of water

Thank you so much for uploading. I find this extremely helpful.

Do I have asthma? Suddenly when I breathe I can’t inhale fully I can only inhale a certain amount of air or else my lungs will hurt and I can’t exhale fully as well so maybe I have slight asthma (my Mother has asthma and she has an inhaler)but I can still breathe like normally

Watching this while having an asthma attack dont worry Im on the way to my inahler

When I breathe in and then as soon as i start to breathe out I start coughing really badly:/

I've had asthma all my life; Since birth I was lucky to live. I've learned to control it being a runner and an athlete. However, when you run low on meds or you haven't seen your doctor dont even risk any type of running at all.

Very Good Video! That helps a lot!

You forgot the part about your throat feeling like it was mauled by a bear

I don't have severe asthma I have 2 triggers of asthma, if I'm sick, that's when my asthma kick in, I have to use an nebulizer. And my asthma also comes in when I run a lot, I recently got an inhaler to use on my own, because I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 2. Also when it's cold outside, my chest once felt tight and I couldn't breathe very well. But we thankfully went inside, and I felt much better. I think I could've possibly been having an asthma attack.

I had many asthma attacks when I was a child but now I almost never had it so i think I am able to keep it under control now.

I can only run like a normal person when I am outside when it is winter for some reason.

Im 15 and I was born with asthma and it was my best friend for 14 years Now because of NHS I'm getting better

i have asthma. it feels like exhaling while inhaling to me

My brother has suffered horrible asthma for as long as I remember. He now has been told the steroids are stunting his growth. When I struggled through a case of pneumonia I guess I realised what his life is like to some extent. Hes doing alot better now though

I’ve had to go to the hospital a couple times for this

*GUYS* (sorry ladys if I assumed your gender) I have asthma and I know how it feels and it was so accurate to what the guy said, and I wheez and,I get stuffed nose and,I can't run but I only last for 11 seconds and I have allergies with my asthma,I do take pills and,a inhaler but it isn't so bad as the others may say because I've experienced it, yeah, I went to the hospital four times for that because sometimes I can't breathe to the point I need 911 and I am glad for the others who don't asthma and may God bless those who do and don't have asthma.

i have asthma and whenever i have an asthma attack, i feel like i need to move way everything near my neck so that i can breathe

Iv had asthma since I was a baby,I'm 24 years old and rn I'm struggling the most with it. Not abel to sleep more then 3 hours a night and I'm having anxity which is making my asthma flare up more. In on Advair right now as a steroid inhalant.Also I'm on Singulair generic brand is montelukast. So yeah asthma is horrific I hate having it. But all I can do rn is pray 👏😔

I just ran 1 month apart each, and I had all these symptoms (straw breathing, mucus, coughing, wheezing) both times. I'm gonna go to the doctor soon, and I'm like 99% sure I have this.

It’s weird for me, I can normally breathe just fine but as soon as the hay fever season has come around this year it’s like sometimes I struggle to breath properly. Also it doesn’t stay all day, like the symptoms will come and go throughout the day. Like one time I’ll have breathing normally and then I’ll be struggling

Whenever I breathe it sounds like a vacuum with something stuck in the tube thingy

Sub urban : *its hard to breathe but thats alright*

1981, Sechenov’s Med Inst, Moscow, USSR (asthma, with pneumonia, rhinitis, chronic tonsillitis) 52 children (34 in-patients and 18 out-patients; 3-15 years old) with regular asthma attacks (once per day or more); 41 of them had pneumonia, 27 rhinitis, 36 chronic tonsillitis. All had problems with breathing through the nose, palpitations, and were bronchodilator users. In 1-5 days the patients were able to stop the attacks, cough, blocked nose, and wheezing, using the method. Observations in 1-3 months showed considerable improvements (cessation of heavy attacks or a total disappearance of the symptoms) in 83%, some improvement (less heavy attacks and considerable reduction in medication) in remaining 17%. Their average CP increased from 4 to 30 s, aCO2 from 25 to 36 mm Hg. Higher blood concentrations of IgA, IgM, IgG, and IgE were found, according to laboratory reports. Blood pressure normalised, forced expiratory volume raised over 5 times. Significant increases in lung volume, expiratory speed, and other parameters were found. Average breath holding time (CP) increased from about 3-6 s to over 30 s.

I was born with asthma and it's one of the worst feelings in the world. I feel like my lungs are about to explode and I am scared I will just randomly stop breathing. Asthma can't be cured I don't think so asthmatics are stuck like this forever.... My parents always worried about me growing up, mum constantly showed me news clips of children having asthma attacks and dying. She did it to tell me how serious it is but all it did was make me avoid everyday activities like running.

Idk if I have asthma but a few time a year I find myself having possible symptoms. For example, I was taking a state test (I had happened to be having a lot of allergies) and out of no where’s I started coughing uncontrollably and I couldn’t catch my breath because I felt like my trachea was closing up. (Once I realized I couldn’t stop coughing I start panicking, which made it even harder to breathe.) The classroom was so quiet and all you were able to hear was me coughing and trying to breath, so the teacher asked if I wanted to water so I did but when I got water it didn’t help at all, if anything it made it harder to stop coughing. I then went back to class still coughing like crazy and went straight to the teachers desk standing there for 15 seconds trying to ask if I could go to the nurse. I could tell he didn’t understand what I was saying but he was able to figure out what I was saying by my body language. Once I went to the nurse all she was able to do was give me a little cup with warm water and salt to gurgle but it didn’t go away right away. Eventually, about 5 minutes later, i had finally stopped coughing completely but still had shortening of breathe. Things I have always notice during these time is when I would inhale I feel as if the air is very cold and thin. I also have noticed that this usually happens in the winter and spring. I’m not sure what to think of this.🤷🏻‍♀️

To add to this, asthma and gut health are linked! Some researchers found that food sensitivities played a role in 25-90% of asthma cases! If you're struggling with asthma, you could try a basic gluten/dairy/eggs/soy free eating plan, or talk to a healthcare provider about trying elemental formula or mediator release testing. Just remember it's most helpful to work with a health professional on these things and have an epipen on hand when reintroducing foods, in case they trigger a reaction!

Thank. You for telling me that stuff because I have that

The first time I had an attack it felt like forever for it to go away. I struggled so much to breathe but I couldn’t, it was only till I used my inhaler. I’m older now and I rarely get them, but I have my inhaler with me at all times now

i just realized that when i laugh really hard for a while i have a coughing fit with mucus. i just started experiencing asthma symptoms about 2 weeks ago, going to the dr. today to see what it is for sure

I was looking into this as I had a feeling I have asthma but he said the same symptoms can happen if you have a cold and I have a cold rn so I think I may be okay.

I was born with asthma and it’s been such a struggle. I’m into specific sports that include running, although I have Asthma I don’t tell my teachers I have asthma because I want to participate in sports. I’m ten years old, and I’m learning to use my inhaler when I have a full on asthma attack.

I have asthma when I was little I played soccer my asthma made it hard and I had to sit out in most games. The coach didn’t understand how I needed my inhaler. I couldn’t run full around the field. But now that I am older. It’s my senior year I decided to do cross country. It is so hard because it slows me down. But I have been improving. And that feeling as if you’re going to die. I’ve been training my brain. I keep pushing. Today I collapsed. Luckily it wasn’t bad. I try not to use my inhaler often. But I’m saying you can do it don’t quit on the first day. Just keep pushing yourself. I won’t let something I like get in the way of me. It can be embarrassing when you’re the only one behind. Even though it’s only induced it’s really hard. And what else is hard is telling between a panic attack or if it’s asthma attack.

I have asthma I was born with it and my inhailer and just listen I was sitting in class and a bully didn't know what my inhailer was so took it out of my bookbag, I had an asma attack squeeled really loud (because you can not talk) then I got up tapped me teacher on the shoulder and pointed to my bookbag so, the teacher went over to it and I showed her my inhailer she got it out and saw it was broken she ran out of class and wisperlly-shouted "go to the nurse now", she want back in class and told my classmates what was happening, a kid came down and ran with me, I fainted in the middle of running so she carried me the rest of the way, when a teacher saw and herd what happend she did the same, I made it to the nurse un-conches and I went to the hospital, they gave me a better inhailer and the breathing machine thing (I do not know what it is called because when I woke up I was dizzy) I woke up (dizzy) and asked a lot of questons, my mum (mom) answerd them all Then we went home I havd had more of these stories happen. When I was born I had a cord around my neck and the docter cut it but I still wasn't breathing so I was put in a glass tank for 5 months then made it out. That is 2 times my asthma as strook.

After reading some comments,I feel very grateful to not have asthma.Even tho I have regular chest pain and I can't really breath properly,I am sure it's not asthma:)

The cold (even like 50 degrees) makes me unable to breathe. If I get even the least bit sick I have to do a nebulizer. It's more embarrassing than anything else. I do suggest deep breathing exercises. I breathe very slowly and for the most part I don't have issues. But it was a very conscious effort at first. From being a musician and managing my breathing specifically for music I figured out that the exercises really have a lot of benefits.

I feel like a dying turtle when I have asthma

If you reading this and have asthama read it carefully, It is not if you have asthma or not what matters is at which level your asthma is, you just need to follow a healthy diet,may you know that when the amount of cough increase in our body the asthma problem also increases so eat healthy food,avoid food which can increase the amount of cough in you body like banana,biscuits, cakes,dairy products etc ,I'm an asthma patient but I use my inhaler when I feel problem while inhaling (normally once or twice a week)take care of your diet that's it and according to ayurveda try pranayam its an lung exercise which help to keep our lung strong and heathy :follow what I said and you will definitely see results😊 MAY GOD BLESS YOU

I have asthma right now Asthma feels like when you inhale something is like blocking your lungs so you can't properly breath,so your breathing isn't normal and its fast,its hard to breath and you cough so much,you can't laugh,play,and sing while having an asthma,it feels uncomfortable,like too much, and when you force yourself to inhale fully your chest will feel like heavy and like something is hurting it,the easiest and fastest way to get rid of it is the machine that when you put medicine(asthma relieve medicine)and put it I the container and put the mask connected in the machine it will help relief.but if you tatse it its salty so don't even try,my mom doesn't even care, she said I just need to sleep it out.DOES SHE WANT ME TO DIE BECUASE OF ASTHMA?! See ya I can't breath and I'm trying to control it but I fail.ok I'm serious it really makes me nauseus and want to faint. This is probably my 5th or 6th asthma attack.my lungs feels like its going to explode In any minute.I can't even talk properly,it stops me,its suffocating me,damn this covid! Now if I had an accident(faint) I couldn't be rushed in the hospital.I mean,I don't wanna die!it feels Like something is chocking me. Okay I'm not joking while I'm typing this I'm describing how I feel like now..I feel like I'm going to black out..I think I'm having a panic attack too...my legs are shaking my whole body is shaking...I don't know what to relieve first!

When I was like 2 or 3 years old I was diagnosed with asthma. But after some time, doctors thought it went away and I was fine. I always had trouble breathing during sports classes at school but never linked it to this. Then a few days ago, about 20 years after these diagnosis, I suddently had a terrible asthma attack and had to be rushed to the ER by ambulance. It started as catching a simple cold but then I felt trouble breathing, exactly as described in the video: just like if someone was sitting on my lungs. It's terrifying how it can return at any moment.

For me personally it's feels like someone is pressing down on your chest and slightly around my throat. It gets to the point where I end up stretching up my neck/head to try and get more air. Then it gets to the point where I can't stand and fall or pass out. You can't speak when having an attack so try and get someones attention by tapping them on the shoulders or making a noise with an object to alert others to you. Always keep a spare inhaler on you in case your first one runs out.

*Guys PLEASE help me. idk if i have asthma* So in the nighttime i feel like it’s very hard to breathe, I start breathing with my shoulders and after every 1 to 2min i have to take a long breath in and out by mouth because i feel like if im not going to do it then im going to die cause i have this major lack of air. Sometimes i feel like something covering my nose,mouth and that makes it very hard to breathe. Please guys i feel like im dying

I've been having a terrible time in the nights lately . I've been getting up with coughing attacks . The wheezing is awful . I'm on Fostair pumps , ventilon and steroids . I was controlling my asthma but now it's getting out of control 😞

I can relate to the “breathing through a straw” part, but idk if I have asthma. When I run or walk really fast I get this weird feeling when I breathe. Like, I can breathe normally, but it feels like I can’t get enough air into my lungs. Not like I’m choking or like I can’t breathe, but like if I could just get a bit more air then it would be enough. I breathe heavily for 10+ mins after running, and I’ve begun to wheeze when I exercise. My heart valves also close at different times, so maybe that’s it.

I can relate..

I just figured out I'm right. I do in fact have asthma can't breathe even though I'm doing nothing.

For me it feels like the air hits concrete halfway down my lungs. I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma, but my inhaler doesn’t always work, and I’ve never felt the tube analogy...unfortunately now is not the best time to get re analyzed!

I am so thankful that I don’t have asthma. My sister used to have asthma as a little girl but It somehow cleared up and stopped.

I just recovery and still is from an asthma attack and I have asthma really bad, but whatever they did to me in the hospital not too long ago helped a lot I haven’t use my nebulizer in 2 months.

Ive had three asthma attacks in 12 Years of my life. They are not nice. My teacher at primary school, forced us to work hard in Sports. I started getting chest pains, I couldn't breathe. I dropped my inhaler and a teacher saw me. She immediately tried to help. My latest asthma attack was two years ago. In September.

Does anyone get upper back pain with their asthma and chest feels sore? Ive been in an asthma flare up for 2 weeks i cant even walk around the block without getting out of breath.

I have mild asthma, and even though it’s just mild, it’s still awful. Once I had such a tight chest I could barely breathe, I tried taking deep breaths, but those just caused an itchy, painful feeling in my chest, and made my throat feel blunt. It also caused vomiting, and an extremely sore stomach, and I kept feeling to hot from the stress of having difficulty breathing, and having to go the toilet because of all the water I was drinking. My chest wouldn’t let me get to sleep, since it’s worse when I’m lying down, and I got so tried I felt dizzy, started to black out, felt like I would pass out, so I ended up falling asleep on top of the covers, since it was to hot under them. I got about half another of sleep, since it was LATE morning before I knew it, because I had feel asleep long past midnight.

Cool

I came here because I had my first asthma attack today.

I’ve been coughing lately but it is allergy season! I’ve also always had a lot of mucus and have to clear my throat. I don’t have trouble breathing, but I was wondering if that could be asthma?

haha, i have asthma, ADHD, and chronic pain. i was diagnosed when i was 2 for asthma, 4 for adhd, and 8 for chronic pain. i hope you have a great day!

My asthma used to be much worse. My asthma always gets worse around spring or winter. Sometimes I have an asthma attack each week.

Sad thing I have asthma as well..

I don’t have asthma but I do have a hard time breathing a lot.

27 years and counting. Stay safe everyone.

I have asthma, but it isn't severe. I've had 2 asthma attacks all my life, I'm 11 year old but my asthma gets better by the day.

My dad told me I was in the hospital for about 2 months cuz I was born with asthma

*i'm allergic to animal dandruff (which means can't pet doggos :c) and am an athsmatic :(

I just got diagnosed with asthma. I also have a reflux and apparently it caused an asthma . So for 5 months it’s been so bad. But now it got worse. In the morning i had so much mucus and could hardly breathe. The doctor prescribed me a stronger inhaler. But the good thing is that you can control it and make symptoms disappear or soften

recently ive been suffering lack of air and tachycardia in random moments of the day and i start feeling like im dying. my hands get cold and sweaty and i get dizzy. ive been living with this for the past week and a half and i really cant deal with this anymore. idk if its anxiety disorder or asthma or some other problem

Do I have asthma? So today, I had to run laps in the morning, it was very cold also. I think I might have had a asthma attack. My chest was tight and it hurt to breathe in, I also had a bad coughing fit.

I lost my aunt yesterday because of an asthma attack.

Whenever I get an asthma attack it gets ten folds worse because i keep coughing while tying to breathe, it's only mild though so I do consider myself lucky.

mam i like your voice

After i run i slightly wheeze, is this normal?

I weasse a lot and it feels like someone is pushing down on my chest and I can't seem to catch my breath. I have a nebulizer but I can't use it in places like school or the car. My Mom doesn't know that I feel this way all day everyday. Help

I never get a wheeze but most of the symptoms i do experience. If i had to guess on asthma feeling it's like your panicking without anything to panic about feeling the effects of a partial anxiety attack.

I have a slight of asthma (it's not that bad, I haven't been to hospital because of it, but sometimes I get an attack. But last week my classmate got an asthma attack on P.E., she really looked like she was gonna pass out, but luckily I ran off to get her inhaler and helped her. (Lucky her) Anyway, it felt so good that I could help her and knew what to do. Most of my classmates were just standing there, all shocked and didn't know what do do. I know how scary it is to have an attack or to see someone having an attack. It's the worst when you see your friend like dying and can't breathe and you want to help her, but you just can't, or when you're having an attack and that feeling when you're like:'So this is how my life is gonna end...I guess these are my final moments...I can't-..br-...eathe!'

I don't have asthma, but I have something similar like my lungs get congested so I have to use an inhaler.

Each time i play football or exercise, i have to take a break (Every 5-20 mins) I start to cough and wheeze. Do i have asthma?

I had Asthma when I was a baby very bad but I grew out of it and now I have it again and this I don’t think is a cause of an asthma attack but when I’m sitting down my heart starts to beat really fast and like someone is pinching my lungs but I can still breath (i had asthma since I was born but I grew out of it)

I think I just had an asthma attack last night. I couldn’t breathe for about a minute literally until I vomited all the food out in my stomach. It was the scariest moment of my life because it was a legit life or death moment

I feel like everyone has asthma

It’s asthma not assma

Today at rugby it started to feel like I was breathing out of a straw and i was wheezing so much and it really scared me because it has never happened before so I started crying uncontrollably and I still don’t know if that was asthma or a panic attack because I could still tell my coach that I couldn’t breath

asthma really is one of the hardest things to live with, it's expensive, depressing, and extremely off putting

who else has asthma here?❤️

Idk if this is possible but there are forest fires in alberta and the smoke blew towards were I live and all of a sudden when I was playing kickball I collapsed on the ground and started coughing so I don't know if i got asthma or not😳 By the way here's a great treatment for asthma if you're interested: www.MootHelp. club

Dude I had asthma for a long time and now it’s coming back

I play soccer and I have asthma before every half I use my inhaler once nd it really helps whoever invented the inhaler ...Thanks

Hi. My experience with adults (not for children or pregnant women). "Everyday", take one organic vitamin Zinc @75mg for a 150 pound person. Make sure to take vitamin Zinc with food in the stomach. Also, one vitamin C. (perhaps, 100mg). After 3/4 months, people call me to tell me that the asthma is gone. Asthma is not supposed to come back if you are constant each and every day with the vitamins. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.

childrenshospgh, good job. Together we are strong :) :)

I have asthma but it was worse when I was younger.It still bothers me and when I was younger I went to my dentist and had an asthma attack.

nice to know! i think asthma was something passed down from my family, my father and oldest brother have asthma, i'm not diagnosed with asthma, but my father believes i do, i'm not sure but i'm gonna see a doctor, i have rapid breathing for the slightest things, either it be walk up stairs, run a lap, do a pushup, walk around for a while, ect, my dads getting worried and thats why i'm gonna see a doctor, we also have pets that shed hair, my pet is a bird, i'm not allergic to birds so thats why i have him, but the other 3, 2 cats 1 dog shed crazy, my dad needs his inhaler for them, i can deal with a little, but when the cat gets on me and sheds i cannot breathe right, am i ok?
