im having frequent asthma attacks and i have no more inhaler what do i do?
i no longer have insurance and i no longer have an inhaler i used it all up, the over the counter ones being as dangerous as they are , i bought one for a emergency and it wont stop the attacks, tonight is the worst one i have got and they just keep getting worse every night when i go to bed, does anyone have any natural around the house type remedies to stop these attacks and prevent them...NO ONE SMOKES AROUND ME OR IN THE HOUSE OR IN THE FAMILY ...so its not that
there is no free clinics here infact i dont know if there is any in my state i wish there was. as for the freezer cold air actually makes asthma worse, i was told i shouldn't go outside with out something covering my mouth in winter and it never gets that cold here. for the inhaler i use albuteral i have not seen any over the counter ones...i have bought an over the counter one from walmart that did not work on my attack

You need to get a breathing machine prescribed as well...My son has Asthma and it usually only acts up with the season change...But none the less has turned blue on me on 2 occasions!!!!!!! He could have died had it not been for the fact, I woke up and found him trying to breathe!!!!!!!!! Please do a few calls search a way to get to low or free clinics also, the Er has NO choice but to see you even if you have no insurance!!!!!!!!

Asthma is dangerous and is life threatening. If you are this bad you need to go to the ER asap and worry about the cost later.
Hospitals (at least in my area) are required by law to treat people with an emergency situation regardless of insurance coverage,
Unfortunately, no matter what you see online, there nothing natural that can help. Albuterol inhalers are available in generic now and are not expensive anymore.

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.
I cured my Asthma the natural way?

You need to find a free clinic and go there and see if they will dispense an inhaler. Since you are having more and more attacks indicates that your airway is inflamed and is causing your problem and you probably need a steroid to break this cycle in addition to an inhaler. You could go to your family doctor but you will have to have some cash up front for your appointment but often, not the full amount and he can evaluate you and write a prescription for the needed meds.

You need to go to the ER and get another inhaler on an emergency basis. Do it right now, regardless of time of day or anything, or one of these days you won't make it through to morning.

try sticking your head in the freezer and breath in the cold air that seems to help for some reason...maybe go get a vicks inhaler the kind you use for colds, and pick up some vicks vapour rub, and put a pot of water on the stove and put a tsp of vicks vapour in the pot, bring to boil and then breath in the fumes, this will help.
