@Sylvia @JazzyC @Cezza83 Oh, these all sound scary...especially the "breathing through a straw" description.

I have adult-onset asthma and it doesn't run in my family, so when I started having symptoms and had my first attack which eventually led to my diagnosis it was a surprise. I hadn't been feeling well in the morning but didn't think much of it, and when I went to play some football with friends I had an attack mid-match and ended up losing consciousness. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital with all sorts of tubes and things! It's really changed the way I live my life as I was very active before.

Asthma attacks are scary and highly debilitating. They leave sufferers feeling scare and exhausted.
What was your worst asthma attack? Where did it happen? How did you feel afterwards?
