What is an "attack"?
An attack refers to the sudden and severe start of a disease or a symptom. It often shows up with intense and quick symptoms that can be very serious or life-threatening. For example, a heart attack involves a sudden blockage of blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain and other symptoms. Similarly, an asthma attack involves sudden narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing.
