You don't mention in your post whether you take any steroid inhalers? But as you say that you have severe asthma, I'm going to assume then that your doctor has put you on some to help control the symptoms. I've been told that the rescue inhaler is the only way to calm an attack. However, I have often myself in the past used hot drinks, in particular coffee, to help with attacks in the past. Apparently there is something in coffee that helps ease the asthma. But really if you are worried about your attacks these days you should see your doctor about them. Because maybe your asthma is out of control.

Another things you can do is have a number of rescue inhalers in different spots. Like in your car, in your sports bag, in your coat pocket, so you are likely to always have one on hand.
