In worst case scenarios, asthma attacks can lead to death. On the other hand, severe asthma attacks are less common, but they last longer and require immediate medical attention. Asthma attacks can also be triggered by other factors such as exercise and infectious diseases such as flu, colds, and bronchitis. On the other hand, long-term medications keep asthma symptoms under control and are usually taken even when symptoms are not present. Although asthma symptoms can be treated, there is no cure for the chronic illness.
