History and Symptoms

  • Most people with asthma have attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some people have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Either wheezing or acough may be the main symptom.
  • Asthma attacks can last for minutes to days, and can become dangerous if the airflow is severely restricted.
