Whats the difference between an Asthma attack and having Asthma?
What is the difference?
Sometimes my friend will be lyk "oh i just have asthma right now"
and at other times he would say something lyk "I had an asthma attack".
I know asthma attacks are when you cant breathe, but isnt having asthma the same thing? And if having an asthma attack means abruptly, they cant happen abruptly right? something needs to trigger it?
And if you are sleeping and you wake up and have an asthma attack, what caused that?
Sorry for so many questions, 10 points to best answer.
First off. I’ve had Asthma since I was born. In some areas it’s bad. Alot of the main things that trigger Asthma are (but are not limited to) Pollution (I once lived on a Air Force Base so that gave me alot of trouble),Pollen,if you have any Animal Allergys that can trigger it, Smoke (definately),and Changing of the seasons (it might be just for me =(.). Also having a Asthma attack is not always serious. Although it should be treated immediately it can range from just a slight shortness of breath to where you can barely breathe to not being able to breathe at all. Everyone with Asthma should have a strong enough Inhaler nearby incase of a Attack since they can come randomly. I know this since I’ve had them recently. For awhile I was having a slight shortness of breath and I shrugged it off then 3 months later as I was watching a movie I fell asleep. I woke up near the end barely being able to breathe. I had to rush to the hospital to get a inhaler. After learning from that mistake I always carry it everywhere. Asthma Attacks would most likely wake you up if you’re sleeping and as I said they can be random or there could’ve been some source in your house as in Smoke,Dander, etc. etc. Something doesn’t always need to trigger it to answer that question. It’s completely random. Asthma has always been around, and yes people have died from it before there was a treatment available. Currently there are Inhalers,Nebulizers,and portable Nebulizers for treatments that I know. Asthma is not curable and it can be developed in life. Not everyone developes it and it’s uncommon to see someone develope it. I hope this answers most of your questions and if not just say so and I’ll post additional info. about Asthma. It’s something serious but it can be controled if you’re prepared. Hope this helps ^^.

How is exercise induced asthma different to regular asthma?
My asthma only kicks in whenever I begin to run or jog, and it always last for the first 15 minutes making breathing difficult. But I refuse to use an inhaler and I push through and keep running even though the air going in to my lungs is tiny. After a while my chest loosens up and my breathing returns to normal. So how is my asthma different to regular asthma?
I have exercise induced asthma and at times I can deal with it without my inhaler but I find it’s easier just to take the inhaler if it’s not cleared out so I can breathe properly, hence a better run. I also have asthma of other triggers (dust, pets etc)
They’re the same thing, sometimes you can work it thru on your own but I just don’t see the point to ‘*suffer* if I don’t have to. I’ll do it for a few mins etc but if it’s not improving (and sometimes it can) I inhale-I don’t care how it looks. It’s not fun not being able to breathe!

How do you make your asthma lighter without an inhailer?
I made my school’s basketball team and it involves a lot of running. No matter what I do I end up getting an asthma attack. So do u guys have any tips on getting ready for running a lot. Anything that helps the best will get 10 points.
That’s tough. I don’t really know what to do. I have exercise-induced asthma too. Maybe you can try warming up more before you start the heavy running? Make sure you take your inhaler before practice if you doctor prescribed you to and be careful. That is pretty tight that you made your team though, you proved that even with asthma you can make the team. 
So hopefully things get better man, and I think people will understand that you have asthma and have to take precautions.

Do live chickens aggravate asthma? Are there ways to remove spurs from young and growing roosters?
My mother-in-law is a teacher in an elementary school and has a chick as a classroom pet. She is wondering if live chickens are likely to aggravate asthma in children.
Also, the chick appears to be growing spurs and she is concerned that when the chick becomes older that he will use them against the classroom children. Is there way to remove the spurs that grow on roosters (in a humane manner)? If so, what would something like that cost?
Thank you for your assistance.
yes they carry pet dander (DOWN) like any other bird… about the spurs I can’t tell you, because I know nothing about this sorry.
