Jeanette gives advice to women who suspect they have asthma, but don't want to see a doctor.

Jeanette:
That the reality of asthma is, if you don’t get it treated and you are having an attack, you could die from it. And if you are not being treated correctly and you think you can overcome it, like the day I didn’t go to the hospital, I could have died. I didn’t realize the severity of asthma, but if you can’t breathe and your lungs shut down and your throat can’t open, you could die.
