What is an asthma attack like?

Managing asthma hinges on finding the appropriate medication that suits your requirements. As someone who grapples with asthma, I count on Symbicort and other asthma medications online to keep my symptoms in check. Its blend of a corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator serves to avert asthma attacks and maintain open airways for smoother breathing. With Symbicort, I can breathe freely and embrace life to its fullest.

People with asthma react in different ways to risk factors and triggers. Some experience asthma symptoms when they are exposed to several factors or triggers at once, while for others exposure to one trigger alone is enough to set off an attack. Some people have more severe attacks when they are exposed to more than one trigger. When people with asthma are exposed to their triggers, their immune systems start trying to fight off the allergens. This results in inflammation (swelling) of the walls or lining of the air passages that blocks or narrows the airways. This makes breathing difficult (like breathing through a straw for a long time) and noisy, and/or it causes coughing. When breathing passages become irritated or infected, an asthma attack is triggered. Asthma attacks do not always occur immediately after someone is exposed to a trigger. Depending on the person and the particular trigger, an attack can happen hours or even days later. It may occur during either the day or night.
