How do you stay calm during an asthma attack?

Hello everyone,

How are you doing?

Having an asthma attack can be incredibly frightening and stressful. Staying calm during an episode is important, as stress and panic can worsen symptoms, making it even harder to breathe.

What techniques help you stay calm during an asthma attack? Do you use specific breathing exercises, visualization, or rely on mindfulness?
