A severe episode of the respiratory disease asthma; generally consisting of coughing, wheezing, pressure in the chest, and shortness of breath. Often brought on by an asthmatic's trigger which can be irritants in the air(tobacco smoke,pollution, strong fumes), exercise, allergens (pollen, dander), cold air, etc. Those who have been diagnosed with the disease often have emergency medication in the form of an inhaler on hand to help hinder any sudden attacks. In severe cases, an asthma attack can result in the need for urgent hospitalization. These attacks should under no circumstances be taken lightly, as they can become life-threatening.
