I believe my mom has asthma attack. it is hard for her to sleep, you can hear her lungs, it is hard for her to breathe or even speak. what can i help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have her seen: Breathing difficulty as that of an asthma attack doesn't improve until treated. Various lung infections and conditions can have similar symptoms. If her lung difficulties are preventing her from normal activities like sleep, self care, taking meals, etc. she should be evaluated.
