I cannot believe how calm she stayed throughout the attack. It must be so scary and to stay that calm is admirable and so brave! They all did such a good job with her :)
Staying calm is the best thing lack of oxygen however makes you weak and drowsy. Severe asthma sufferer myself. The calmer you are the better. Slow deep breaths is better if you panic it makes it worse. You can't breathe at all then!
Dementor Prayed for the wicked! Yeah they are good i also ended in 1 to on the way home i was hit by car but that was 2 years ago and they are brilliant
@@kristinafarley6422i know what it feels like its terrible having asthma. The last time i had a asthma attack was in 2022 after i had the flu jab it caused me to have blisters in my mouth
Jeremy Bingontem What do you mean ‘lol not’? People die from asthma attacks; in fact 10 Americans alone die each day to Asthma attacks like this. Mind your mouth if you don’t know the facts.
Wow this left me with tears in my eyes. The moment where the fourth injection went in, her eyes started to open and the paramedic just gave the most honest, relieved smile. He knew a life had just been saved. Beautiful.
Equii Erin I have mild asthma too. Asthma attacks are scary but watching this video will make you know what it’s like and what to do. I’ve had one and it was petrifying.
Asthma attacks are frightening. Always get a bit miffed when someone says they’re having an ‘asthma attack’ but one dosage of their ventolin often ‘cures’ it; no, that’s just being wheezy. Full blown asthma attacks paralyse you, & as stated in this video, you’re literally suffocating. I’ve taken entire inhalers until help has arrived trying to gasp for air, it’s so frightening. I’m so glad she’s fine & succeeded in finishing her training! X
Yes omg! That’s what I do! I’ve taken so much ventolin that I’m shaking but it’s not any better and yet the paramedics here made me walk to the ambulance!
Janeway931 It’s so frightening isn’t it Jane?! You’re willing your inhaler to work but nothing is helping. I distinctly remember having a chest infection (I was on antibiotics at the time) & waking up in bed one morning & being completely paralysed. I willed my body to move just enough to reach my inhalers, & I took both my preventative & ventolin to the point where they ran out, I was gasping for air. My mother was out at work that morning & I was trying to reach her with my mobile but she had her phone off.. I was 19 then & as daft as it sounds now I’d never been in an ambulance let alone phoned one (my mother had always rushed me to hospital in the middle of the night herself for nebuliser treatment or an adrenaline injection; which thankfully I’ve only had to have once !) I think someone somewhere was looking down on me that day was my Mum returned home 20 minutes earlier than normal, but I laid in my bed stiff as a board, tears rolling down my cheeks gasping. I genuinely thought this is it now. I’m going to die. My mother was so upset I hadn’t phoned an ambulance, but to be honest I was very close to doing so at the time. My poor mum had to dress me & get me to my local doctors 5 minutes down the road where I had 6 steroid treatments on the nebuliser to stabilise my breathing. I’ve had many asthma attacks over the years (I’m 32 now) but that was the most frightening for me, you can’t even talk through it. I’m so sorry the paramedics made you walk, I can barely move when I’m having one. If you’ve got someone with you let them know you can’t move during one if that happens again hun. Stay well! X
I was the same. I woke up struggling and couldn’t find my inhaler. I resorted to using purple ones just to try and get something in my lungs. I’ve not been as bad as this girl, this looks horrifying, however I’ve felt like I was going to die. The worse thing is coughing as you need to breathe however the coughing is blocking it.
having asthma myself, i know the feeling of impending doom when you feel your throat close and your chest tighten, the way these paramedics acted was icredible, the shock on their faces when they recieved the call showed really how much they care about people. these are the people i respect the most.
This happened to me 2 years ago and i was on my own! Just managed to call an ambulance for myself, and had two shots of adrenaline because i kept going in and out of consciousness. Watching this fully reminded me of it, you feel sooo tired and drained and even keeping your head up or your eyes open is a struggle. Scariest moment of my life, mine was a slow onset and i had been struggling to breathe from the day before. My asthma has been getting worse since that day i just pray that it never happens again. Glad shes okay!💜
Is this real? this is the most beautiful ambulance full of people. seriously I know that's not what this video is about at all but bloody hell they are all the most beautiful looking people i have ever seen.
I thought it was real until I noticed that the patient looks identical to British actress Cici Coleman. We never actually see her talking with an Australian accent as the voiceover of her describing the experience is just audio. So I think you are right that all of these people are actors.
My brother died of an asthma attack, its his birthday today and this came up in my recommended, its only 2am and thats what ive thought about since the clock striked 12, him. So this being in my recommended is such a sign to me. I never met him but from what i know, everyone loved him. There were so many people at the funeral that not everyone fit in the church. My brave boy. Happy 34th birthday my angel
I have so much respect for doctors and paramedics. Imagine going home after work everyday knowing you’ve saved someone’s life. Amazing. Wish I chose medicine as a career.
these paramedics are so inspiring. i remember a serious attack. i had when i was 6. we didn't know i had asthma, but my dad had a ventalin inhaler, and it didn't work. the paramedics helped so much, talking me through what they where doing, asking if i was ok, telling me i didn't have to speak. it felt like i was suffocating, i couldn't breathe, couldn't feel any of my senses. we're lucky to have people, like these paramedics, who are so able & willing to help.
I'm UK, I have bad asthma! Let me tell you something, struggling to breath and fighting for your breath it's really scary! I've been in hospital countless times having an asthma attack and I can honestly say the paramedics and hospital staff do an excellent job of handling it!!
I’ve been in those shoes, and the thought of being in that position again is terrifying. Having numbness in your hands, feet and jaw area, a light head is just horrible and the fact in just Australia alone 1 person dies of asthma everyday is crazy as a someone who has athlete asthma and lives in the Uk.
She is so lucky, those paramedics along with all the paramedics and medical staff are amazing, they don't all get the merit they deserve. People don't realise you can't very ill or die from an asthma attack. I had one on a hike, but my ventolin was 2 years out of date so I didn't use it. which was a mistake. I sat down and it calmed down. when we were walking back from the hike to my flat and up loads of flights of stairs, I collapsed in my bedroom. I know It sounds stupid but I didn't want to bother the ambulance service, because of my asthma, even though that day I should have gone to A&E. its a scary situation to be in especially when no one is there with you.
I’m so pleased Laura completed her training and became a paramedic 😁👍🏻. It was very upsetting seeing her so poorly 😢 bless her and thousands of others across the uk suffering in the same way. Our paramedics are truly amazing, well done to all the paramedics and ambulance crew for everything they do to help us. ML 🇬🇧❤️🚑 🏥 👨🏼⚕️🤕👩🏻⚕️🤒💉💊😷🛏🗄💔📈
I had an asthma attack when I was younger and let me tell u it is so scary. I thought I was going to die. Story time! I was in the kitchen at 10 at night and my parents were talking and I was so tired and I could fell myself kind of zoning out and suddenly I started getting pains in my chest that came and went very quickly and my parents noticed me breathing heavily and panicking and it was an asthma attack and a panic attack at once so my dad called the hospital and my mum lay me on the sofa and I took multiple pumps of my inhaler but it wasn't working and I was in pain and I felt sick but it was hard to breathe. Luckily I overcame it after about 20 minutes and didn't have to go to the hospital. The day after I went to a dancing show in which I was performing and my teacher said no hair sprays or spray deodorant. People didn't listen even though they knew I could have another attack. We were lining up to go on stage and I was standing behind a girl when her mum came and sprayed hair spray into her hair which also sprayed into my face. I'm pretty sure she done it on purpose and I started to panic and I felt the pains again and I was crying and we were just about to go on stage when my teacher decided to say to me 'oh for gods sake why do u have to have an attack right now' and i was like ummmmm... luckily I did t have an attack but the girls mum got away with it but now to this day I still don't talk to the girl or her mum My dad has asthma and I got it from him but his is more severe. Mine is slowly going away and I went from 4 pumps of my inhaler a day to now which is 1-2 a week. When I tell people I have asthma they always think I'm joking and they laugh and they r like yeah right and in sports in school we went on a run and I brought my inhaler and people kept asking if they could use it and I was like ummm u don't have asthma so no? And if I say I can hardly breathe after running people r like omg me too and I'm like no I have asthma and there like haha I think I have too I think I'm going to die and I'm like u do realise I actually could so do u mind? And in the changing room spray deodorant isn't allowed because of people with asthma and EVERYONE uses it and one day I said can u please stop I find it hard to breathe and nobody listened and some girls thought it was funny and they sprayed deodorant into the air and pretended they couldn't breathe. Some people have no respect.
Omg I feel so awful. When I'm changing for p.e I always spray. Some people in my class have asthma but I've never taken it seriously because they've never had attacks. Your story opened my eyes honestly and I'm so sorry xx
I know what you mean about people spraying deodorant in P.E everyone would spray even though I asked them not to. My asthma got so bad I was in hospital every so month or something like that. I’m homeschooled now so it’s a lot better, I haven’t been in the hospital for about two years or so.
aw I’m so sorry... in my school female teachers walk through the changing rooms and do the register in there, so no one can spray aerosols. when we were going home on the bus once, this kid sprayed his hairspray from drama, and a girl nearly died from an asthma attack...
Bubbles Lol I know exactly how you feel. I too have got asthma and have had it since I was 2 years old. Asthma attacks are the worst there’s always the fear of dying and I once had an asthma attack whilst I had barely any water in my body. People need to be more considerate to those with asthma and luckily my classmates understand but always forget when they all spray deodorant at once. It’s sad though because sometimes I feel like they don’t believe me when I say it can trigger asthma attacks and that it affects me.
What about it? She’s in the right job! They’ll call for back up, colleague will start administering adrenaline, & put her on a nebuliser until back up team arrive which more often than not is within a matter of minutes like it was in this case. Attention won’t be taken away from the other patient - all depending on the severity of that persons case. If they’ve broken an arm, for instance, or an elderly person has had a fall (but is conscious other than severe bruising / is stable), they’ll turn their attention to the paramedic who may die.
Ali Hassan Asthma is highly random and most time it is really not this severe. If your fit eating well you may not have any symptoms depending on what type you have ie I have excersize one which only happens when you stop excersizing.
Not being able to breathe is the scariest and worst feeling in the world. I was a paramedic for 10 years and my coworkers saved my life when we were working at a festival for OT. We were the paramedics there when I went into life threatening anaphylaxis and they were actually considering to intubate me. They said I was 15 minutes from needing a trachea because my airway was almost closed shut. I’ve had anaphylaxis since but not nearly as bad and I’ve had pneumonia many times since 2016 with numerous hospitalizations. It’s very very scary. Glad she is doing better and finished her training.
This was terrifying to watch but AMAZING to see how calm the paramedics remained throughout all of this! Did anyone else notice the big smile on his face when the patient finally responded to the 4th shot of adrenaline 😭👏🏾
I once had a asthma attack plus an infection in My lungs.. It was so scary, i couldn’t breath at all. Because of this I was in a coma for 2,5 week.. It was really weird waking up… For the people who also have asthma, please be careful if you have allergies. I wish all of you Guys the best.❤
im astmatic and have also had a severe atack its terrifying you feel like your dying, i remmber looking at my mum and being scared in not see her again, thanks to the ambulance i am alive they got to me in time and for that im very greatful, i fully understand this lady's pain and fear and i hope she is doing well now.
Asthma attacks are so scary, I have severe asthma attacks and have been in this position many times, I’m so glad this girl is okay💜 I think when you have so many of them, you kind of get used to it in a way! The worst part of it all is the recovery, building your lung strength back up afterwards is always a struggle for me 😬 I can definitely say that the ambulance service here in the uk has saved my life on more than one occasion 😅💙
I had an asthma attack up on a military base in the north east or the yorkshire dales and they had to get an ambulance from an hour away. I remember the clear feeling of my throat tightening and knowing with the ambulance being far away there's a good chance I could die before it arrives. It arrived 20 minutes early and thankfully the fear of death finally sharpened me up and I was considerably better after 4 shots of salbeutomol on the nebuliser and a nice cup of coffee. I was physicly exhausted or 3 days after and didn't get back to my usual way of life for over a week. All this said I feel lucky everytime I wake up in the morning and never take anything for granted anymore. As somber as it sounds I now live everyday like my last, that way I won't ever regret having not done something I wanted to. I also don't know any of the paramedics names but to all paramedics thank you for what you do as I most likely wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
That’s one thing people don’t tell you.. how bloody exhausted you are after a full blown asthma attack. Completely drains you for a good few days. Glad you’re ok dude! Been there many times myself, more so in my childhood & teens, get like it once a year in winter where I need nebuliser treatment, it’s frightening when you’re in it that’s for sure.
Was diagnosed with asthma when I was in primary school, couldn't believe how lucky I am to be alive after seeing this... when I was young I'd have panic attacks early hours of the morning I'd wake up and I couldn't breathe and my inhaler was missing I couldn't find it so I'd go the whole night without sleep struggling to breathe thinking it would go away by the afternoon , little did I know I could have died , the feeling is scary as they say its like slow suffocation , like breathing through a straw with somebody heavy sitting on your chest best way I can describe it, but I never leave the house without my inhaler now , and it isn't as bad no as it was when I was a kid, just flares up during the winter.
I would love to be paramedic,it’s my dream job! I love the idea of being able to save people’s life’s and look after them! I’m greatful she’s ok and that she’s feeling better! Well done to the Paramedics for keeping her conscience.
@@darius181818abl they're not free at all in England, they cost around 7 pounds and they're only free if you have certain benefits like disability. Luckily I'm disabled so I get mine for free. I feel bad for everyone who has to pay for them every month if they have severe asthma
Every time I’ve had a bad asthma attack my dad has driven me to hospital so I can’t imagine how painful it is to have an asthma attack that’s so bad that you need the ambulance. Poor her.
Uhhhhhh, I was trying so so hard holding back my tears. I'm so sorry sweetheart YOU had to go through such difficult times but i eventually felt Relief seeing her responding 💗💗💗 Gold bless you♥
As someone who deals with asthma, I can understand how scary an asthma attack is because I have had to go to the ambulance on site of the track meet for it and they had to give me adrenaline because I couldn't breath and I almost had to go to the hospital but luckily they were able to get it under control. Thankfully that day I was done running so I could just sit the rest of the meet without having to worry about it.
Had asthma all my life (I’m 19) spent my life in and out of hospital only ever visited icu once when my high school wouldn’t call an ambulance for me so my friend did. At 14 they called my asthma Brittle asthma.. When I turned 16 I was told about an experimental drug name Xolair. Before this I was on 24 hour oxygen. I couldn’t do anything. This drug changed my life. Asthma is scary and people don’t take is serious enough.
I'm Australian and worked in a pharmacy... I knew someone who was almost that statistic! We had a regular come in one day and proclaim, "I died a few days ago!" It was from an asthma attack. She went into cardiac arrest. She was just having an argument with her partner and it triggered a severe asthma attack. The paramedics gave her something like three shots of adrenalin but she wasn't responding to it at all. She technically died and had to be intubated to save her life. She was so lucky to be alive!
Ashtma attack’s are awful, the feeling of not being able to get a breath is scary. I had it at school once but luckily after about 40 minutes I managed to calm down and get my breath back.
I have asthma but the one that affects my sleeping and during fall/winter times are when I after blue moon starts wheezing. My asthma have not been bad since I was little and I did not have it as bad as my cousin were they had full on asthma attacks. I use to basically stop breathing in my sleep.
I’ve had to call an ambulance for an asthma attack and it’s horribly frightening. They found me passed out on the sidewalk during the middle of COVID mind you. Wrangled me into the van and my heart was at 200 bpm and they’re asking me if I have a heart condition (I don’t, cardiologist confirmed) Bunch of adrenaline and a nebuliser later I’m finally able to suck in some decent oxygen. For those without asthma, it’s like you have water in your lungs, no matter how hard you try to cough or breathe deeply you cannot get a deep breathe and you feel the oxygen leaving your body. PSA: asthma puffers (broncho dilators) should be part of a routine first aid kit and everyone should carry one because YOU NEVER KNOW ❤
Wow miracle. This happened to my brother who wasn’t breathing then we tried to wake him up but he still wasn’t breathing. So my dad called the ambulance and they took him to hospital which he spent 15 days in!
Asthma cases can begin and end very quickly. I know of a woman whose breathing had stopped before the paramedics arrived. She was resuscitated on the way to the hospital, and the crisis was over by the time that her family and friends reached the hospital. She was flown to another hospital for further treatment. Unfortunately, I also know of an 18-year-old soccer player who died on the pitch from an asthma attack.
I have Asthma too, I always will, I have such bad breathing problems when I have a cough. I think I have only experienced one Very very bad Asthma attack. I’m so lucky to be alive xx
I have asthma and had attacks before but not as severe as this. My triggers are food if i eat or drink something bad it can trigger asthma like cold carbonated drinks. The way to fix it is to take your blue rescue inhaler for me and 99% of the time it works. The main thing you should try not to do is to panic or get stressed as really that can make it much worse.
unreal one I feel like the blue inhaler never works for me when my asthma is bad. I always end up in the hospital. My last asthma attack was worse than this as I was on life support and I don’t want to go back to that again. The doctors keep saying I’m not controlling my asthma but it only gets worse when I have a cold or cough and during winter months. I take the medicine they give and don’t what else to do
@@user-np3mu6qb5k blue inhaler never works??? For me unless it's a panic attack it always works. U sure u not having a panic attack? Do you take clenil modulite the brown one? When my asthma was really bad at one point and the blue inhaler only helped for an hour or 2, i started taking the brown inhaler and got better. Hope that helps for my experience
I've had asthma as a kid and had an attack in school and my teacher refused to call my parents or let me home, so when another teacher (who also has asthma) saw me, he said that I am blue and asked if I was ok. He helped me and maybe saved my life. Similar situations happened several times during my childhood. Including going to the ER every week after PE to get emergency injections because I was forced to run. My parent tried to do something, as well as other parents for their kids, but the teacher's mom is the principal and they have some ties with the higher ups so nothing happened. Now I just have avoidant personality disorder and very bad anxiety.
Having asthma is very difficult and dangerous as always excellent outstanding brilliant they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated stay safe and warm out there stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud way to go appreciate you guys thanks let's stop and hope she is doing ok right ?!!!! Joe
German paramedic in training here :) Interesting to see how they gave her adrenaline intra muscular, in Germany we only do that in case of an severe allergic reaction, in case of severe asthma we would most likely let her inhale salbutamol and ipratropium bromide. In case that this treatment is not enough, we would add reproterol i.v. and maybe magnesium i.v. As a last instance we could try to let her also inhale adrenaline. If all that does not help, we would ventilate her with CPAP + ASB or intubate her :) Greetings from Germany ^^ Sorry for my bad spelling, I hope you guys understand me xD
I've actually been in this situation before. I feel this patient's pain. It's the worst thing in the world. I didn't know I had asthma until I had an attack similar to this. I was so close to calling an ambulance at one point, but I did not. I lived with my parents at the time and I didn't want to worry them. I should have called. Luckily, I was able to stick it out. I don'tknow how I did. Consulted a doctor, and now have TWO inhalers. 🤣👍🏻 I'm glad the patient was able to recover, and I hope she doesn't have an attack like this again.
The thing is, this is the side of asthma that people don't see. Most people will see someone get breathless while running, and that will be it. Basically, all they see is weakness. Have they ever been in the back of an ambulance, unable to breathe? Have they ever been told it's not that bad when it really, really is. No. Because they can't be in those situations, and the only people who see are the people suffering, and medical professionals. Everyone else is totally oblivious. And that's what I HATE.
I cannot believe how calm she stayed throughout the attack. It must be so scary and to stay that calm is admirable and so brave! They all did such a good job with her :)
shes half asleep
She's not with it
When you’re like that you’re not with it, I didn’t know what was going on
She might be used to it , it might happen alot to her !!!!
Staying calm is the best thing lack of oxygen however makes you weak and drowsy. Severe asthma sufferer myself. The calmer you are the better. Slow deep breaths is better if you panic it makes it worse. You can't breathe at all then!
Shout out to all the paramedic across the world 💯
GMR 47 they’re just amazing.
That's nice
This is phenomenal! Having been in an ambulance myself (in the UK), it’s really frightening. But paramedics are just brilliant.

YouniversolGirl lol not
Jeremy Bingontem What do you mean ‘lol not’? People die from asthma attacks; in fact 10 Americans alone die each day to Asthma attacks like this. Mind your mouth if you don’t know the facts.
I love how she became a paramedic herself. It’s like she is paying back her respect and helping the service which helped her.
paramedics and doctors are underappreciated
mariam and nurses don’t forget nurses
Ayaat Wadi and carers, don’t forget carers
No they're not
I find it sad how we're only now starting to appreciate them for all the hard work they put in.
Not really
That dude was so calm and collected when treating her. Absolute professional
Wow this left me with tears in my eyes. The moment where the fourth injection went in, her eyes started to open and the paramedic just gave the most honest, relieved smile. He knew a life had just been saved. Beautiful.
I have mild asthma, never experienced this at all.. once I almost had one on a plane, worst place to have one!!
Erin Bee oh no goodness’s!
Same when my asthma was at its worst it gave me so much anxiety and constant stitches near my heart or in my heart. It’s no joke
Israel McKenzie scary isn’t it
I’ve had one it’s not nice at all u fell like u can’t catch ur breath I had one on a bus but I stayed quiet
Equii Erin I have mild asthma too. Asthma attacks are scary but watching this video will make you know what it’s like and what to do. I’ve had one and it was petrifying.
Asthma attacks are frightening. Always get a bit miffed when someone says they’re having an ‘asthma attack’ but one dosage of their ventolin often ‘cures’ it; no, that’s just being wheezy. Full blown asthma attacks paralyse you, & as stated in this video, you’re literally suffocating. I’ve taken entire inhalers until help has arrived trying to gasp for air, it’s so frightening.
I’m so glad she’s fine & succeeded in finishing her training! X
Some people have more minor forms of asthma.
Yes omg! That’s what I do! I’ve taken so much ventolin that I’m shaking but it’s not any better and yet the paramedics here made me walk to the ambulance!
Chantelle I never stated that wasn’t the case Chantelle.
Janeway931 It’s so frightening isn’t it Jane?! You’re willing your inhaler to work but nothing is helping.

My poor mum had to dress me & get me to my local doctors 5 minutes down the road where I had 6 steroid treatments on the nebuliser to stabilise my breathing. I’ve had many asthma attacks over the years (I’m 32 now) but that was the most frightening for me, you can’t even talk through it.
I’m so sorry the paramedics made you walk, I can barely move when I’m having one. If you’ve got someone with you let them know you can’t move during one if that happens again hun. Stay well! X
I was the same. I woke up struggling and couldn’t find my inhaler. I resorted to using purple ones just to try and get something in my lungs. I’ve not been as bad as this girl, this looks horrifying, however I’ve felt like I was going to die. The worse thing is coughing as you need to breathe however the coughing is blocking it.

crafty crumpet it isn’t about that at all they have just saved someone’s life.
What do you expect? They’re Australian😂
Most beautiful looking ever seen ?lol
I thought it was real until I noticed that the patient looks identical to British actress Cici Coleman. We never actually see her talking with an Australian accent as the voiceover of her describing the experience is just audio. So I think you are right that all of these people are actors.
My brother died of an asthma attack, its his birthday today and this came up in my recommended, its only 2am and thats what ive thought about since the clock striked 12, him.

No, she's her double.
I was thinking more Ariana Grande
Hannah Willow I think she looks like a mix of Ariana grande and Meghan markle it’s weird 😂
She looked terrified. 😂
I think she looks like a paramedic but i might be wrong
wow, those people are amazing
I'm UK, I have bad asthma! Let me tell you something, struggling to breath and fighting for your breath it's really scary! I've been in hospital countless times having an asthma attack and I can honestly say the paramedics and hospital staff do an excellent job of handling it!!
I’ve been in those shoes, and the thought of being in that position again is terrifying. Having numbness in your hands, feet and jaw area, a light head is just horrible and the fact in just Australia alone 1 person dies of asthma everyday is crazy as a someone who has athlete asthma and lives in the Uk.
My asthma got bad watching this
Caitlin Bieker I don’t even have asthma and my asthma got bad! 😆
Same
Sam I Am well your breathing
Ziggy Zolik yes I am, thank goodness! I can’t imagine how awful and scary this must be for asthma sufferers.
Me too 😂
I’m so glad my brother out grew asthma. Feeling blessed. That girl is strong 💪🏻
She is so lucky, those paramedics along with all the paramedics and medical staff are amazing, they don't all get the merit they deserve. People don't realise you can't very ill or die from an asthma attack. I had one on a hike, but my ventolin was 2 years out of date so I didn't use it. which was a mistake. I sat down and it calmed down. when we were walking back from the hike to my flat and up loads of flights of stairs, I collapsed in my bedroom. I know It sounds stupid but I didn't want to bother the ambulance service, because of my asthma, even though that day I should have gone to A&E. its a scary situation to be in especially when no one is there with you.
I’m so pleased Laura completed her training and became a paramedic 😁👍🏻. It was very upsetting seeing her so poorly 😢 bless her and thousands of others across the uk suffering in the same way. Our paramedics are truly amazing, well done to all the paramedics and ambulance crew for everything they do to help us. ML 🇬🇧❤️🚑 🏥 👨🏼⚕️🤕👩🏻⚕️🤒💉💊😷🛏🗄💔📈
The most inspiring story, the staff were so efficient & gave the best care! 🖤
I had an asthma attack when I was younger and let me tell u it is so scary. I thought I was going to die.
Story time!
I was in the kitchen at 10 at night and my parents were talking and I was so tired and I could fell myself kind of zoning out and suddenly I started getting pains in my chest that came and went very quickly and my parents noticed me breathing heavily and panicking and it was an asthma attack and a panic attack at once so my dad called the hospital and my mum lay me on the sofa and I took multiple pumps of my inhaler but it wasn't working and I was in pain and I felt sick but it was hard to breathe. Luckily I overcame it after about 20 minutes and didn't have to go to the hospital.
The day after I went to a dancing show in which I was performing and my teacher said no hair sprays or spray deodorant. People didn't listen even though they knew I could have another attack. We were lining up to go on stage and I was standing behind a girl when her mum came and sprayed hair spray into her hair which also sprayed into my face. I'm pretty sure she done it on purpose and I started to panic and I felt the pains again and I was crying and we were just about to go on stage when my teacher decided to say to me 'oh for gods sake why do u have to have an attack right now' and i was like ummmmm... luckily I did t have an attack but the girls mum got away with it but now to this day I still don't talk to the girl or her mum
My dad has asthma and I got it from him but his is more severe. Mine is slowly going away and I went from 4 pumps of my inhaler a day to now which is 1-2 a week.
When I tell people I have asthma they always think I'm joking and they laugh and they r like yeah right and in sports in school we went on a run and I brought my inhaler and people kept asking if they could use it and I was like ummm u don't have asthma so no? And if I say I can hardly breathe after running people r like omg me too and I'm like no I have asthma and there like haha I think I have too I think I'm going to die and I'm like u do realise I actually could so do u mind?
And in the changing room spray deodorant isn't allowed because of people with asthma and EVERYONE uses it and one day I said can u please stop I find it hard to breathe and nobody listened and some girls thought it was funny and they sprayed deodorant into the air and pretended they couldn't breathe. Some people have no respect.
Bubbles Lol people really do need to learn to respect people - I’m so fed up with everyone these days
Omg I feel so awful. When I'm changing for p.e I always spray. Some people in my class have asthma but I've never taken it seriously because they've never had attacks. Your story opened my eyes honestly and I'm so sorry xx
I know what you mean about people spraying deodorant in P.E everyone would spray even though I asked them not to. My asthma got so bad I was in hospital every so month or something like that. I’m homeschooled now so it’s a lot better, I haven’t been in the hospital for about two years or so.
aw I’m so sorry... in my school female teachers walk through the changing rooms and do the register in there, so no one can spray aerosols. when we were going home on the bus once, this kid sprayed his hairspray from drama, and a girl nearly died from an asthma attack...
Bubbles Lol I know exactly how you feel. I too have got asthma and have had it since I was 2 years old. Asthma attacks are the worst there’s always the fear of dying and I once had an asthma attack whilst I had barely any water in my body.
People need to be more considerate to those with asthma and luckily my classmates understand but always forget when they all spray deodorant at once. It’s sad though because sometimes I feel like they don’t believe me when I say it can trigger asthma attacks and that it affects me.
Hats off to the ambulance crew absolutely fantastic, i cried watching this because my two kids have had bad asthma attacks and its scary to watch.
But what if she has asthma attack while on the job.
Job being a sexual liaison between two consented adults , one male and one female?
What about it? She’s in the right job! They’ll call for back up, colleague will start administering adrenaline, & put her on a nebuliser until back up team arrive which more often than not is within a matter of minutes like it was in this case. Attention won’t be taken away from the other patient - all depending on the severity of that persons case. If they’ve broken an arm, for instance, or an elderly person has had a fall (but is conscious other than severe bruising / is stable), they’ll turn their attention to the paramedic who may die.
@@sircliff323 Er...I think they meant doing her job I.e a paramedic.
Ali Hassan Asthma is highly random and most time it is really not this severe. If your fit eating well you may not have any symptoms depending on what type you have ie I have excersize one which only happens when you stop excersizing.
Then she couldnt be at a better place
Not being able to breathe is the scariest and worst feeling in the world. I was a paramedic for 10 years and my coworkers saved my life when we were working at a festival for OT. We were the paramedics there when I went into life threatening anaphylaxis and they were actually considering to intubate me. They said I was 15 minutes from needing a trachea because my airway was almost closed shut. I’ve had anaphylaxis since but not nearly as bad and I’ve had pneumonia many times since 2016 with numerous hospitalizations. It’s very very scary. Glad she is doing better and finished her training.
This was terrifying to watch but AMAZING to see how calm the paramedics remained throughout all of this! Did anyone else notice the big smile on his face when the patient finally responded to the 4th shot of adrenaline 😭👏🏾
Omg finally!! BBC3 cover asthma!!!!!!
I once had a asthma attack plus an infection in My lungs.. It was so scary, i couldn’t breath at all. Because of this I was in a coma for 2,5 week.. It was really weird waking up…
For the people who also have asthma, please be careful if you have allergies. I wish all of you Guys the best.❤
His accent is everything 🙌🏻
Asthma gang where u at 🙋♂️
Gang gang🙋🏼♀️💥
Gang bang👊🤙
Im hear in da house
They are at the hospital struggling to breathe luv
Yep Yep
But this video is scaring me and I'm sick with the coughs right now so it could come 😬😬😂
Absolute heroes.
Congratulations on her recovery and making it to qualify as a paramedic wish her all the very best
Omg wow .... Bless her❤
Oh man I'm just so happy my brother survived his attack... I hope anyone with asthma live a fulfilling life with many prosperities 🙏
im astmatic and have also had a severe atack its terrifying you feel like your dying, i remmber looking at my mum and being scared in not see her again, thanks to the ambulance i am alive they got to me in time and for that im very greatful, i fully understand this lady's pain and fear and i hope she is doing well now.
Asthma attacks are so scary, I have severe asthma attacks and have been in this position many times, I’m so glad this girl is okay💜 I think when you have so many of them, you kind of get used to it in a way! The worst part of it all is the recovery, building your lung strength back up afterwards is always a struggle for me 😬 I can definitely say that the ambulance service here in the uk has saved my life on more than one occasion 😅💙
I had an asthma attack up on a military base in the north east or the yorkshire dales and they had to get an ambulance from an hour away. I remember the clear feeling of my throat tightening and knowing with the ambulance being far away there's a good chance I could die before it arrives. It arrived 20 minutes early and thankfully the fear of death finally sharpened me up and I was considerably better after 4 shots of salbeutomol on the nebuliser and a nice cup of coffee. I was physicly exhausted or 3 days after and didn't get back to my usual way of life for over a week. All this said I feel lucky everytime I wake up in the morning and never take anything for granted anymore. As somber as it sounds I now live everyday like my last, that way I won't ever regret having not done something I wanted to. I also don't know any of the paramedics names but to all paramedics thank you for what you do as I most likely wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
That’s one thing people don’t tell you.. how bloody exhausted you are after a full blown asthma attack. Completely drains you for a good few days. Glad you’re ok dude! Been there many times myself, more so in my childhood & teens, get like it once a year in winter where I need nebuliser treatment, it’s frightening when you’re in it that’s for sure.
My comment is a little late, but congratulations, Laura! I’m amazed at how calm she stayed during her attack. 🥳🎉
I’ve had so many of these, the paramedics were wonderful. Not being able to get any air is frightening and makes the condition worse.
Was diagnosed with asthma when I was in primary school, couldn't believe how lucky I am to be alive after seeing this... when I was young I'd have panic attacks early hours of the morning I'd wake up and I couldn't breathe and my inhaler was missing I couldn't find it so I'd go the whole night without sleep struggling to breathe thinking it would go away by the afternoon , little did I know I could have died , the feeling is scary as they say its like slow suffocation , like breathing through a straw with somebody heavy sitting on your chest best way I can describe it, but I never leave the house without my inhaler now , and it isn't as bad no as it was when I was a kid, just flares up during the winter.
I would love to be paramedic,it’s my dream job! I love the idea of being able to save people’s life’s and look after them! I’m greatful she’s ok and that she’s feeling better! Well done to the Paramedics for keeping her conscience.
This is why inhalers should be free Iv has an asthma attack before it’s so scary
Kerrieann Ayres They're free in the UK thanks to the NHS.
Darius Mohammadi there not free in England only in wales and Scotland I pay for my inhaler
@@darius181818abl they're not free at all in England, they cost around 7 pounds and they're only free if you have certain benefits like disability. Luckily I'm disabled so I get mine for free. I feel bad for everyone who has to pay for them every month if they have severe asthma
Caramel Cupcake they are free if you are under 18
Er...
🇬🇧
Every time I’ve had a bad asthma attack my dad has driven me to hospital so I can’t imagine how painful it is to have an asthma attack that’s so bad that you need the ambulance.
Poor her.
Obrigada, Deus, por cuidar da Laura e por usar cada paramédico/socorrista para ajudá-la! Tu és bom!!!
Great job you guys, scared for her watching this , 👍💕🎀
Uhhhhhh, I was trying so so hard holding back my tears. I'm so sorry sweetheart YOU had to go through such difficult times but i eventually felt Relief seeing her responding 💗💗💗 Gold bless you♥
What amazing story and experience
Gee I saw a couple colliding here.
If this was in school in England they would give u an ice pack 😂
Wet paper towel and see how you go at lunch
As someone who deals with asthma, I can understand how scary an asthma attack is because I have had to go to the ambulance on site of the track meet for it and they had to give me adrenaline because I couldn't breath and I almost had to go to the hospital but luckily they were able to get it under control. Thankfully that day I was done running so I could just sit the rest of the meet without having to worry about it.
She explains it perfectly !
Had asthma all my life (I’m 19) spent my life in and out of hospital only ever visited icu once when my high school wouldn’t call an ambulance for me so my friend did.
At 14 they called my asthma Brittle asthma..
When I turned 16 I was told about an experimental drug name Xolair.
Before this I was on 24 hour oxygen. I couldn’t do anything. This drug changed my life. Asthma is scary and people don’t take is serious enough.
I'm Australian and worked in a pharmacy... I knew someone who was almost that statistic! We had a regular come in one day and proclaim, "I died a few days ago!" It was from an asthma attack. She went into cardiac arrest.
She was just having an argument with her partner and it triggered a severe asthma attack. The paramedics gave her something like three shots of adrenalin but she wasn't responding to it at all. She technically died and had to be intubated to save her life. She was so lucky to be alive!
Paramedics are heroes, r.i.p. to everybody that has lost a loved one or a friend to asthma attacks R.I.P. 😭😭
Ashtma attack’s are awful, the feeling of not being able to get a breath is scary. I had it at school once but luckily after about 40 minutes I managed to calm down and get my breath back.
I have asthma but the one that affects my sleeping and during fall/winter times are when I after blue moon starts wheezing. My asthma have not been bad since I was little and I did not have it as bad as my cousin were they had full on asthma attacks. I use to basically stop breathing in my sleep.
Bless her. I'm coming toward the end of my nurse training and that was tough to watch
The difference between 1:50 and 3:10 is amazing she os amazing they are amazing!
RIP TO HER
Asthma attack is the worst...I got a really bad one when I was younger & couldn't breathe for a long time, fortunately I got the help that I needed.
I’ve had to call an ambulance for an asthma attack and it’s horribly frightening. They found me passed out on the sidewalk during the middle of COVID mind you.
Wrangled me into the van and my heart was at 200 bpm and they’re asking me if I have a heart condition (I don’t, cardiologist confirmed)
Bunch of adrenaline and a nebuliser later I’m finally able to suck in some decent oxygen.
For those without asthma, it’s like you have water in your lungs, no matter how hard you try to cough or breathe deeply you cannot get a deep breathe and you feel the oxygen leaving your body.
PSA: asthma puffers (broncho dilators) should be part of a routine first aid kit and everyone should carry one because YOU NEVER KNOW ❤
Well done Laura! All the best in your new role!
Laura has mesmerising eyes
As well as the driver
Wow must have been scary! Well done to all involved and glad good ending ❤️
Wow miracle. This happened to my brother who wasn’t breathing then we tried to wake him up but he still wasn’t breathing. So my dad called the ambulance and they took him to hospital which he spent 15 days in!
Shoutout to all the paramedics who helped the girl and everyone else in the past
Asthma cases can begin and end very quickly. I know of a woman whose breathing had stopped before the paramedics arrived. She was resuscitated on the way to the hospital, and the crisis was over by the time that her family and friends reached the hospital. She was flown to another hospital for further treatment. Unfortunately, I also know of an 18-year-old soccer player who died on the pitch from an asthma attack.
I have Asthma too, I always will, I have such bad breathing problems when I have a cough. I think I have only experienced one Very very bad Asthma attack. I’m so lucky to be alive xx
oh my goodness i am so glad she is okay x
I was diagnosed with asthma and I feel so blessed that I haven’t had a attack hope everyone with asthma is alive and well 😊 and safe
Having asthma myself I know how terrifying this is
I have asthma and had attacks before but not as severe as this. My triggers are food if i eat or drink something bad it can trigger asthma like cold carbonated drinks. The way to fix it is to take your blue rescue inhaler for me and 99% of the time it works. The main thing you should try not to do is to panic or get stressed as really that can make it much worse.
unreal one I feel like the blue inhaler never works for me when my asthma is bad. I always end up in the hospital. My last asthma attack was worse than this as I was on life support and I don’t want to go back to that again. The doctors keep saying I’m not controlling my asthma but it only gets worse when I have a cold or cough and during winter months. I take the medicine they give and don’t what else to do
@@user-np3mu6qb5k blue inhaler never works??? For me unless it's a panic attack it always works. U sure u not having a panic attack? Do you take clenil modulite the brown one? When my asthma was really bad at one point and the blue inhaler only helped for an hour or 2, i started taking the brown inhaler and got better. Hope that helps for my experience
I have severe uncontrolled Eosinophilic asthma, just had another 5 days in hospital too. It's frightening, you are out of it and struggling so bad.
Who felt they couldn’t breathe after this 😂
She is very calm
This scares me especially because I have asthma 😬luckily mine isn’t bad.
Same
My asthma is severe which pisses me off 😭
Commendable job. Well done.
When that 4th round went in and she started to respond 😭
That's so scary, I had mild asthma as a child, so glad it didn't turn into something serious like this
I've had asthma as a kid and had an attack in school and my teacher refused to call my parents or let me home, so when another teacher (who also has asthma) saw me, he said that I am blue and asked if I was ok. He helped me and maybe saved my life. Similar situations happened several times during my childhood. Including going to the ER every week after PE to get emergency injections because I was forced to run. My parent tried to do something, as well as other parents for their kids, but the teacher's mom is the principal and they have some ties with the higher ups so nothing happened. Now I just have avoidant personality disorder and very bad anxiety.
Having asthma is very difficult and dangerous as always excellent outstanding brilliant they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated stay safe and warm out there stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud way to go appreciate you guys thanks let's stop and hope she is doing ok right ?!!!! Joe
Hope you get better soon ❤
Christ that is a proper job. Incredible.
German paramedic in training here :) Interesting to see how they gave her adrenaline intra muscular, in Germany we only do that in case of an severe allergic reaction, in case of severe asthma we would most likely let her inhale salbutamol and ipratropium bromide. In case that this treatment is not enough, we would add reproterol i.v. and maybe magnesium i.v. As a last instance we could try to let her also inhale adrenaline. If all that does not help, we would ventilate her with CPAP + ASB or intubate her :) Greetings from Germany ^^ Sorry for my bad spelling, I hope you guys understand me xD
I had a severe asthma attack when I was 6. One of the most traumatic experiences
the woman driving the car her facial expressions oml aha
Been here multiple times myself
Taking easy, Mates!
I've actually been in this situation before. I feel this patient's pain. It's the worst thing in the world. I didn't know I had asthma until I had an attack similar to this. I was so close to calling an ambulance at one point, but I did not. I lived with my parents at the time and I didn't want to worry them. I should have called. Luckily, I was able to stick it out. I don'tknow how I did. Consulted a doctor, and now have TWO inhalers. 🤣👍🏻 I'm glad the patient was able to recover, and I hope she doesn't have an attack like this again.
You know I’m clenching my inhaler watching this
The thing is, this is the side of asthma that people don't see. Most people will see someone get breathless while running, and that will be it. Basically, all they see is weakness. Have they ever been in the back of an ambulance, unable to breathe? Have they ever been told it's not that bad when it really, really is. No. Because they can't be in those situations, and the only people who see are the people suffering, and medical professionals. Everyone else is totally oblivious. And that's what I HATE.
It's great she was able to continue her training and become a paramedic. Hopefully this doesn't happen while she's on the job.
Both the patient and paramedics are so gorgeous wtf
A co worker of mine died from a severe asthma attack which quickly lead to brain death. Please, always take asthma attacks seriously!
My auntie suffers with asthma attacks like this, I’m terrified that one day she won’t make it through, she means everything to me 😢
