Managing Asthma: Preventing and recognizing an asthma attack.
An asthma attack is when your asthma symptoms become suddenly worse. This happens due to tightening around your airways, called bronchospasm. During an asthma attack, your airway lining becomes swollen. If you learn to recognize an asthma attack while it is still in the mild stages, you may be able to stop an asthma attack or prevent one from getting worse.
