What do is someone pass out and they start having an asthma attack when they regain consciousness?

Much depends: Hi! Assuming it IS an asthma attack and fainting is coincidental, keep the person calm and have him/her use his/her inhaler and/or nebulizer and call his/her physician. If it's not clear why the person fainted, still seems confused, is not a known asthmatic, or can't speak in full sentences, take him/her to ER or call ambulance.
