Yes, for many years I was convinced it would be my asthma that takes me but now I'm more worried it will be my heart.
I've gone into cardiac arrest before after an asthma attack, and from what I do remember before I passed out- it was one of the scariest things I've experienced. Until I passed out, and then it was just over and I'd have died had my dad not done cpr.
I've come to realize how fast it can happen and now stay weirdly calm in my worst attacks [which thankfully are rare]. I won't have the fear like I did before for myself... my fears now are more for my kid having to go through the remainder of her childhood and early adulthood without a mother because that very thing f*ed me up pretty bad.
