this isnt really the best place to ask how long you can wait before seeking help. As we can't see you we don't know how bad you are. Peak Flows are not a good measure for everybody, it's better to go on how much you are struggling. If in doubt it's better to seek help, either OOH, NHS direct, 111 or 999 can all give you much better advice.

this page from AUK talks a bit about asthma attacks asthma.org.uk/about-asthma/...

hope you feel better soon!
