Answering a comment about monitoring asthma attacks by using a pulse oximeter. In my opinion I would urge caution when using pulse oximeters if you are not used to them as you may worry too much about the numbers. Sometimes the oxygen saturation may not reflect the severity of your asthma attack.
I would suggest that you discuss with your doctor to have a better idea what to do in your case. Generally, how you are feeling during the asthma attack is important. If you are able to take the reliever treatment (salbutamol inhaler) and the attack improves, this is usually a good sign. However, if you are really struggling to breathe, your chest is very tight, you are panting and cannot inhale the reliever medication, or you are becoming drowsy or exhausted, you may need to seek emergency treatment. Always try to be safe during an asthma attack, and if it is a bad one, let someone else know that you are struggling.
