Complications
Asthma attacks can be serious. They can:
- Interrupt everyday activities such as sleep, school, work and exercise, causing a significant impact on your quality of life — and can disrupt the lives of those around you.
- Send you to the emergency room, which can be stressful and costly.
- Lead to respiratory arrest and death.
