A member asked:
Is it possible for an asthma attack to cease without any medication such as a rescue inhaler or any medical intervention. (or any natural remedies such as steam from a shower) also, how detrimental is it to remain laying down during an asthma attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma attack can be self limited, i.e. spontaneously resolve. If the asthma attack is severe enough, most patients can not stay in supine position due to out of breath. Yes, the oxygenation is more impaired in supine position during an asthma attack.
