Asthma is a nagging disease and I have seen a few people especially elders suffering from that disease. An old man known to me for several years uses an oxygen cylinder for breathing purpose in the night. The very sight is deplorable. But what to do that is life.

You know what, I had asthma when I was a little kid. My mom told me so, and she said it was really hard for me to breathe when it attacks. But fortunately, I got over with it when I was growing up. My aunt has asthma too and it is hard for her to do heavy jobs. But I heard that if you have asthma and it attacks, you just have to stay in an airconditioned room so that your lungs would be normalized and you can breathe easily. ^_^

Yes, my nephew has asthma, though a mild one but I have seen him having attacks and I am always the one bringing him to the emergency room for nebulization and at one time had him admitted because he was really gasping for breath like his oxygen level went down to 89. The last time he had an attack was last February and I was not around and I hope he does not have attacks anymore.
And I have witness others too mostly school children.
