My son has it very mildly, still worth checking out indeed.
I am waiting to Primatene Mist to be re-released. Meddling government had it banned for CFC’s. They have supposedly submitted a new product for approval. It worked better than any prescription crap and lasted longer.

I paid little attention when my daughter was diagnosed. It was something my father experienced and I hadn’t.
A couple of years later she very nearly died from an attack while she was driving home. She had taken an aspirin which evidently triggered or worsened the attack and she was unconscious in an unoccupied government building before she could get help.
The paramedics which eventually responded completely exhausted their checklist before being able to revive her. Neither of them had ever lost such a young patient.
In retrospect, I realized that I should have studied the ailment more and insisted that my daughter be taught how to spot the symptoms before they become life-threatening.
Here’s a link to an article about peak flow meters: http://www.webmd.com/asthma/guide/peak-flow-meter
Lack of this information was a factor in my daughter’s near death experience. It’s important to realize that the amount of air needed is a very strong function of activity level. The air my daughter needed to be able to drive home from school was significantly more than that which she had been using while sitting in a classroom. The sudden increase in activity brought on an almost irreversible lack of oxygen.
