What does an asthma attack feel like and what does it feel like before the attack?

Question

And when you get a cold or sinus infection does the asthma get worse?

Answer 1

Right before you have an asthma attack it feels like you're hyperventilating and you can feel your chest start to tighten up... and when you breath it feels like you can't get enough air into your lungs... and when you start having the attack you have a really hard time breathing... it's just like trying to breath through a straw... and... for me, my asthma only acts up when I get a cold... never a sinus infection... I hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

I just can't believe you are still asking about this. Unbelievable. You say you are having trouble breathing.....pressure in your chest and you STILL sit there instead of going to the hospital.

I just don't believe it.
