Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As he is a known case of asthma, it is a condition in which there will be narrowing of the respiratory bronchioles due to the triggering factors like dust, pollen,food,mites and chemicals.

Whenever there is a acute episodes of asthma, the patient cannot breath properly, so the amount of carbon dioxide in the body increase and causes all these symptoms.

Immediately they requires oxygen to wash out the excess level of CO2 which is causing all these symptoms. In addition to this he may requires bronchodilator, steroids and a course of antibiotics.
Thank you.
