I know this is a question I should know the answer to, but how do I know I'm having an attack?! No one has ever actually explained to me what to recognise, and I'm not sure that what I think are attacks are actually attacks! I sometimes consider something just a worsening of symptoms that a few days ago I thought might be an attack and then I confuse myself even more. Also, what kind of state should I be in before I ask for help?
It just came to me that I should probably know this stuff!
Thanks

Symptomatically, usually people find they are using their accessory muscles (chest muscles) a lot to get air in and out - you can see this in a mirror when you're asthma is bad. People also find it hard to talk and complete a sentence.
