You will feel extremely tired. When you have a bad acute asthma attack or a more prolonged problem with your asthma you use up a lot of energy to cope with it. Breathing difficulties of any sort are very draining. It can sometimes take quote a while to get over an acute attack, depending on the severity of it.

If you think about, of course you are going to feel tired if your lungs are having to work 50/% harder just to get you enough oxygen. Tiredness is really really common. When I have bad Asthma, I feel knackered all the time, and it can take quite a long time to recover.

Not much help, but there are lots of people in the same boat.
