I had a roommate in college - Her parents used to give her Vodka when she'd have an attack. She said it worked better than an inhaler. It wasn't her excuse to drink cause at our college alcohol was prohibited on pain of expulsion. I haven't had experience with using Vodka myself. Lying down can help - I know it helps hubby. Cough drops seem to give him MINOR relief as well. I'm not sure if it helps severe asthmatics though. Scary situation to see or be in for sure.
