<human>: Can you please explain the risks of asthma attacks and can they cause a person to get into a state of coma , and if so, what are the probabilities of waking up?
<bot>: Hi zulyreyna1, Thanks for visiting Chat Doctor. Asthma can be exacerbated in the following conditions:1) Patient not adherent to medication or else not taking proper medication so that their asthma is not controlled.2) Viral infections especially during winters.3) Change in ambient temperature of the environment.4) Exercise in individuals with uncontrolled asthma.5)cases of brittle asthma where there is sudden attack and patient may die suddenly.  Severe asthma attacks may land up the patient in coma needing mechanical ventilation. Prognosis or chance of recovery remains good. Best wishes
