What are emergency phone numbers or asthma helpline numbers in UK?
In an emergency, you can dial 999 (or 112) and ask for an ambulance. 112 is the European emergency phone number and it’s a good idea to make a note of this if you are visiting another European Community member state. Generally, you should treat the situation as an emergency in asthma, for example, if: * someone has stopped breathing or is too breathless to talk, * the person is experiencing severe chest pain or is having trouble breathing, * the person is, or has been, unconscious, * the person has a severe allergic reaction. If you are not sure if it is an emergency, you can call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 for advice on what to do.
