My phone so dry I'm looking at how I can save someone's life
😭😭😭

Same 😇
Im trying to save my life lol
Same😔
I have asthma attacks quite often, and I'm telling you, it is not fun. It hurts so bad, and I feel like i'm gonna die for a split second, so this video is reaalllyyy important.
I had an asthma attack in my friend's house, an asthma attack in school and an asthma attack when I was walking with my mom
I have asthma and i have been in the hospital 3 times bc of it
Same arozzanen
I was nearly on my deathbed when I was 2 because of an asthma attack.
I've been investigating top natural treatment for asthma and found a fantastic website at Laken Chest Remedy (google it if you are interested)
This instructor is so calm
Good thing this video exists, in second grade I was playing outside with my best friends and my one friend has asthma and all of a sudden he started having an asthma attack and my other friend and my first instinct was to run inside to get his puffer but the principal told me "No he can get it himself" and I'm over here like "MY BEST FRIEND IS OUTSIDE ON THE GROUND PRACTICALLY DYING!!!" I ended up shoving her out of my way and then my teacher was like "where were you?" And I simply said "I was politely getting my best friend's puffer" long story short I got detention and the principal ended up calling my mom and she was not happy with my principal she was like " YOU'RE GONNA GET MAD AT MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR SAVING HER BEST FRIENDS LIFE!?" and I ended up going home early
these people shouldn't be in schools omg i really cant understand why teachers always act like they are the law or something
Well done for listening to your gut and doing what you know was right.
It's a very young age to take initiative so it's really brave.
That teacher has a lot to learn.
I must appreciate Dr Igho on CZcams for helping me and my husband in getting rid of Asthma permanently after so many years in pain. God sent you to save my family with your natural herbs and roots all thanks to you doctor you are a God sent keep saving lives sir I really appreciate all you have done for me and my family my God bless you richly sir
Okay, but remember that when a person uses a spacer, they need to take 3-4 breaths through it in order to receive the full amount of medication. Also if the spacer whistles, they're breathing too fast.
True
omg i use a spacer thabk you so much i never knew about breathing too fast
Good reminder. X
True, I know because my grandma has severe asthma and she uses a spacer, she did this before and it whistled, so it is true
Thanks, I did not know this
I feel like a doctor each time I watch these videos.
I had an asthma attack after running laps during PE. Yesterday my asthma was acting up but you have to run. You HAVE to! If you don't run and you don't have a note then they tell at you to run. So I ran and when we were lining up I started wheezing coughing and having trouble breathing. The kid in front of me asked if I had asthma and I nodded. My friend went up to the PE teacher and instead of sending me to get my inhaler do you know what she told me to do? She told me to breathe through my nose! Like lady I'm breathing through my mouth bc I CANT breathe through my nose! Long story short it lasted the entire PE and I was never sent to get my inhaler...
Mitzi Gamer the PE teacher should have yold you to go get your inhaler before you started running
Mitzi Gamer bring your inhaler to pe with you.and tell your Principal
Mitzi Gamer same happened to me
Yh same thing happens to me and if you stop that's another lap
Mitzi Gamer l
She is taking her inhaler too fast it won’t get down too her lungs, it will only sit in her throat😒
I had an asthma attack in gym glass years back and they told me to “walk it off” like what!!
Whaaaaatttttttt 😶 only if they knew how it felt then they would be aware of what they said
Alyssa Newton they have no idea
Yeah I too had it now when I was in my coaching class and no one noticed it I cried a lot 🥺
Walking would be worse 😂
Aw. Gym teachers needs to be lectured about asthma, and what’s it like to have asthma unlike people that doesn’t have this medical condition.
Who's binge watching this while imagining saving a friend
Me 😂

Yes for a fanfiction lol
Grateful for the natural relief provided by the Asthma Care pack. My lungs feel rejuvenated!
2020.
St Johns teaches 4:4:4
4 Puffs with 4 breaths every 4 minutes.
An asma attack is just soooo painful, I've had about 4 asma attacks in my life. Ive Been hospitalised twice, always cried at the pain
Man you know you cried in pain bc when a human know that you have a infection in your lungs and can't breathe you would cry in pain
Man I am also the prey of asthma and I cry a lot cause why not, I cannot run I cannot play physical games and I love to play football
I am desperate😷
You can try for ayurvedic medication you can live a normal life style
My sister and mom has asthma,so this will be useful
thank you so much for this, I have severe asthma and this really helped
Every PE day we have we have to run for 3 minutes before class and I always take my inhaler beforehand because the medicine takes about 15 minutes to kick in. So I still have asthma attacks every single time and I feel dizzy and I’m wheezing and coughing every single time. It usually starts between the first minute or 2 too so I have to just deal with it for another minute at least. I also can’t walk because “yOu HaVe An InHaLeR fOr A rEaSoN”
Go to someone above the teacher and complain. They clearly do not understand. You also need to go for an asthma review with your gp and get the medication increased
Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.
Thank you for sharing the training. It is helpful.
Thanks SJA!!! These videos are very helpful!
Thank you so much this helped me out so much I have been having asthma attack at school or in random places thank you for helping me out 😃
I have asthma and i would say, besides the inhaler and a compfortable position, it's impotand to stay calm an calm down them down if they are paniking. And remind them to breath out, becauce by tryign to get more air in the lung we often dont exhale properly. And so the lungs will fill up with used air.
Not sure how I arrived at this video but Good to know! Always been a fan of St. John's! The hospital found my cancer at a young age and then years later the ambulance service saved my eyesight when I got some glow stick liquid in them!! 😁👍
I almost died last night due to an attack. It was the scariest experience of my life
I’m very sorry. I hope you feel better. My mum has this constantly. It’s very scary and I feel like nothing can help
I was just like this when I was a toddler
Thank you so much I have a really bad seeming asthma attack.
I am watching cause it is quite helpful
Thanks sir
what a knowelagable content...my small brither asthma patient but after taking vaska capsules and moringa capsules from planetayurveda he is fine.
Thank you so much you made me stay calm because if you would have not said that if I want to head as much time because of the smoke I would die if I had it how you said use my inhaler thank you thank you for saying that
This helps like really does
Thanks your the best I have an asthma attack during mass or aka maths
May I clearify with you if let says if the asthmatic patient are severe asthma attack or allergies how to do basic first aid.Thank you
If I had to wait and take 10 puffs until the ambulance came I would be passed out
Once they've done ten puffs, would you advise them to stop using the inhaler or is this just when you'd call for help whilst continuing with one or two puffs every 2 minutes?
I am having symptoms everyday of an asthma attack and also panic attacks. This video is very helpful.
Me too
Hi are u doing better?
@@Shortgirllove hi are u doing better I have both panic and asthma😖
I am all better now. Symptoms came from using the phizer vaccine and trying to bleach my hair to soon before I recovered since I thought I was better but I wasn't which resulted in this allergic reaction. I had leasions on my face, asthma like symptoms with shortness of breath and a racing heart from panic attacks. It took me over 2 months to recover. Going to the beach and breathing in the salt air helped me heal my lungs tremendously. For the panic attacks I got off the decongestant pills for allergies and other allergy medication I was taking and used the food version instead. I also had, ginger tea, with honey and thyme to clean things out and had lemon water every day. I kept my diet super healthy and cut out histamine foods till I was well enough to eat them again and balance my other health need I needed from those foods. SO thankful I did my research online and found that tea mixture from Docter Mandel. I also bought a halmalton salt inhaler to use instead of the asthma perscription inhaler. Way healthier for your lungs and faster results if anyone suffers from something like this. Salt air is a great lung healer. I think this halmalton salt inhaler works for people who have asthma too but you should check with your doctor before trying it. Also look into the salt cave spas that are growing in many cities and ask your doctor if you should try it.
@@estari4 did u get the two Pfizer vaccines?
thanks your vediow cus i know how its story of ashma attack
thankyou am a victin
I’ve never had asthma attack but I have asthma and I’m 11 I’m scared to have one I always have trouble breathing and this vidoe help me be calm if I do have one
Despite the asthma paradox that asthma drugs or herbs just cause more asthma medical docs steer clear of physical therapy or massage for asthma. Pressing forefinger and thumb together (very well known chin mudra) deepens breathing and relieves asthma. Another asthma mudra is crossing fingers.
watching during worst attack and am alone. I think I gotta go in
I had an Asthma attack and it felt good
I want to know example of advanced first aid equipment please
My docter gave me a strong inhaler and a relief for strong I have to use the strong inhaler two time in the morning and night after that I gotta wash and brush my teeeth and they also gave me a relieve pro air inhaler to help relieve a attack if it does happen
Rescue inhaler makes it worse for me. Makes me tremor and breathing more difficult
I love these vids, they are so useful
For reviewing my St Johns AFA , however the technique demonstrated by the girl is veru poor and not help very much...
The video is awesome&bizarre
Im not certain if I have asthma but every time I walk a block I can hardly breath(fall-spring), I desperately need an inhaler and I hope I get one for my bday Dec 3rd
People who have asthma should be really careful like if they worry the chest will be stressed then you,ll will not breath it’s just a lot I know because I have asthma and had a lot of attacks when I was young
WhAt if asthmatic patient didn’t bring their inhaler? What would be the alternative first aid?
Interesting in Australian videos we are taught, to use the 4x 4x 4x method. ie. 4 breaths to one puff for 4 times wait for 4 minutes and repeat. If still no improvement call an ambulance.
Hi my child is asmatic she is going through a hard time now I don't know if she will go to school I'm really stressed she gets attack even three or four times a week.please I need help I need someone to counsel her
thanks. my friend has asthma and im watching this just in case anything happens to him
If i don't have reliever how can i treat please reply me i want to know
I only have nebulizer not inhaler and I ran out of meds, don't know what to do it's only 3:37AM I can't properly breath
Would anyone recommend carrying a spare inhaler if you have people you spend alot of time with asthma but you don't have it?
Definetly, just in case they don't have one. U can help save their life
I already carry mace so i think its a very bad idea
Asthmatic here! I think it's sweet you wanna do that but inhalers are prescribed so you can't just get a spare to carry just in case nor can you share medications. HOWEVER, you can see if the person (assuming you're around them constantly, like a roommate, partner, or family member) has a backup inhaler you can carry in case they forget theirs or it fails due to a clog or falls empty in an emergency. For example, my mother has always carried a spare inhaler for me and my brother when we were younger (she didn't need one at the time) just in case we forgot ours when going out. I hope this helps you!
By the way for all my asthmatics, see if your doctor is okay with an inhalor called respiclick. Its very small, its all put together, just open the cap, use it normally. LIFE CHANGER.
I had a bad asthma and the freeway was closed. I used up all my inhaler and it’s doing nothing for my asthma. I couldn’t travel to the clinic cause the main road was shut down I swallowed a steroid pill and it came back up, I got gagged and stopped breathing, for a minute, I get the pill back down and slowly I could breathe better. All the freeways were flooded, with cars stuck in them.
It is hard to tell the difference between an asthma attack and a panic attack. Yesterday during PE I started to wheeze but I didn't tell anybody in fear of me being accused of lying for attention. It was the first time that has ever happened so I don't have an inhaler or any medication to help me with it..should I go see a doctor and get everything checked out?
U should
Trouble breathing is an emergency. See your doctor SOON!
I wondered about that. I have asthma, but I also get panic attacks sometimes. November 2021, I had a really bad panic attack at work in the break room. But the scary part is, a panic attack can very closely mimic an asthma attack and can actually aggravate asthma. Remember one girl trying to get me to just breathe. Minutes later I don’t know how long it was I was spacing out, another coworker says, do we need to make our emergency 🆘 intercom page? I managed to choke out no. Realistically maybe they should’ve ignored me and did it anyway. But I would’ve died of embarrassment if they did it then. My boss ended up coming in tried talking to me about random stuff to see if he could use that to bring me out of it. Head manager showed up as well. In my state, I could hear them talking to each other in low voices
Or last year when wildfire smoke was really bad, I definitely had a flareup. I remember coming in from doing a lot of shopping carts and feeling extremely short of breath and winded.
Steam inhalation works for me and drinking warm wster +inhaler
Hello there
well in philipines since we dont really have inhalers or we have i just dont know bc im just 11 i use nebulizer
Im crying
What if they don't have an inhaler and its there first time?
If it’s your first time and you don’t have A inhaler And it’s quite a bad attack you would just phone a ambulance. Black coffee is good Four opening the lungs. Ho a Hot steamy bath or shower is actually good for helping to open the lungs. Long as it’s not to hot to burn you. Apparently even Coca-Cola is supposed to be good to help Open your lungs. Because it’s got caffeine in it. But this is why they tell you not to drink coffee before you go four a Lungs function Testing. Because it can open your lungs before you go. give the machine a false reading.
Good question! You're going to want the person to sit down and try to focus on breathing. You can try steam if possible (it may make it worse, may help. If it's their first, you won't know) and I definitely recommend patting on their back, not too hard but firm enough on both sides, up and down. This will help open the lungs. If they don't improve or start/keep getting worse, do not be scared to call for medical help. Asthma can escalate at any time, without any warning. Keep calm and watch to make sure the person doesn't go unconscious. If it's particularly severe, patting the back and calling are your first go-tos. Remember that just because the person may be conscious and coherent, talking to you, does not mean it's not a severe attack. I hope this helps you!
Thank you, my dad just got diagnosed with asthma and he doesn't have any inhaler, i was scrolling down reading some comments. Thanks so much.
❤❤❤❤
What do we do if they don’t have their inhaler with them??
Thanks to Dr okouromi on youtube he cured me from asthma attack, with his herbal medicine and it worked perfectly well
*My friend just had asthma attack and she passed out owo*
haha what were you doing telling us about it instead of doing something about it bruh
@Mimicpro
She said that 8 months ago..
@@unknown-jr3xe exactly
What if we meet someone that get asthma attack but they don't bring their inhaler?
*That would be me*
(Such an early reply)
If you have a medical place nearby (urgent care or ER), I recommend bringing them in or getting help if they don't get better or get worse after 5 minutes of resting and deep breaths. Personally, all my attacks are severe and my inhaler doesn't do anything so with severe attacks PLEASE get them medical attention. It may seem like nothing but I speak from experience when I say asthma can go from 0-100 real quick with no warning so it's better safe than sorry since you absolutely cannot share medication. I hope this helps!
@@prettyboy1075 I asked that question because, when I'm go to camping in national park (in south east asia) my friend got asthma attack and he forgot his inhaler at basecamp, luckily one of my friend bring oxygen can so we try to do first aid and immediately go to nearby medical center, since then I wondering how treated someone that got an asthma attack but they don't bring their inhaler and we in very far from any medical center.....is there any first response manuever, tips and trick regarding that situation?
@@chvhndrtntlr3482 Ah I see. If they're prone to forgetting, you can carry it as they'll be with you. If the inhaler isn't nearby, pat on their back to help open the lungs as they sit in a comfortable position and focus on their breathing. If it gets worse, you'll have to continue to monitor as you call the emergency number for help.
@@prettyboy1075 thanks for your advice...I appreciate it
i have severe asthma in college i had an attack and my teacher had to reassure me
Help i cant breath properly its been an hour

Im having a asthma attack right now and I don't have a inhaler 🙂
Im have asthma watching this i know how to breathe better just boil some water and if it is finish put its some salt cover yourself with blanket an smell it
was hoping he was goin to show us wat to do if there is no inhaler...plus dat girl use the inhaler wrong...u need to breahe in fully n keep up ur breath after u take a puff...breath out after 10secs or so....this will ensure that mos of the puff get down into ur air ways n be alot more effective
some people like me don't use normal inhalers, we don't use spacers. Good video though
I have two friends with asthma and I want to be prepared, also shouldn't you call 911?
999 is for UK btw
What do i do if I don't have inhaler
Ye but what if you forget your inhaler and you have an asthma attack trust me I had an asthma attack and I forgot my inhaler and it was the most terrifying thing of my life but luckily a person called Mrs Herbert help me with a inhaler that she had got of of the first aid kit and it was at school
My chest feels like it’s burning, I searched it up and it says that it’s caused by asthma and I have asthma
can u grow out of asthma? i had it when i was younger really bad but now i never have it so im just curious, or is it coming back after puberty?
Maybe you are doing something right ?
It will come back . Don't assume it's gone
Literally having asthma attack rn and don't know what to do
So I MIGHT have asthma I have gone to a doctor they say come back if I’m wheezing come back and they’ll give me an inhaler and diagnose me with asthma I’m going back Tuesday or Monday so I probably have it and honestly I was in so much pain today I collapsed on the floor and started breathing again a little bit better than before it was scary asf cause panicking makes it 10x worse trust me
The problem is I don't have inhaler
mere asthma ka problem tonek baid g k dwa se thik hua tha nahi to mai phle omnacortil ya fir levocitrizine khata tha r pump mujhe hamesha apne sath carry karna padta tha
Not helpful ,,what about them not having an inhaler,,,how could St. John’s miss this 😢?

My son hv astma but i let him to find the egg of turtle then since till now, astma not attact on him, now he is 25 yrs old
This asthma thing is getting me into depression 😢 attacks now and then
non asthmatics don’t realize how lucky they are they can run without their lungs feel like there closing and wheezing it’s especially annoying when they go up to you and tell you how lucky you are to have asthma because i have “that air thing that makes it go away”
What if no inhaler like that!

I'm 25 and I was born with asthma. and my asthma happens when I get allergies or A cold and lasts for 6 weeks after the cold goes away and the wet coughing and vibrating chest pain is very severe for me. I wheeze all the time. Then I start taking Aller- G Care capsules from Planet Ayurveda, and I am living healthy life now
Your fingers have to turn blue I think. I don’t know. You have to be blue before you go to the doctor? I don’t get it.
