Whats the difference between an Asthma attack and having Asthma? - asthma attack more condition_symptoms

What is the difference?

Sometimes my friend was lyk, "Oh, I have asthma at this time"

and sometimes say something lyk "I had an asthma attack.

I know that asthma attacks if you can not breathe, but asthma is not the same thing? And if an asthma attack occurs suddenly, ie, that can not suddenly be true? has something to activate?

And when you sleep and wakes up and makes an asthma attack, which caused that?

Sorry for so many questions, 10 points best answer.
