I can't take my pumps so my asthma nurse have to give me something by law right till can take my inhalers again when ribs healed

I took this from the link I put up for you. I presume you haven't been able to read it yet.

'What are the symptoms of an Asthma attack?

Every 10 seconds someone in the UK is having a potentially life-threatening asthma attack.

So what are the warning signs?

◾The sufferer’s reliever inhaler isn’t helping.

◾Their symptoms are getting worse (cough, breathlessness, wheeze or tight chest)

◾They’re too breathless or it’s difficult to speak, eat or sleep

◾Their breathing is getting faster and they feel like they can't breathe in properly

Ask your nurse for a spacer divice - it is easier to breathe inhalers in with them. If you can't breath or think you are having an asthma attack and can't take your pump, you should get emergency help.
