Symptoms of asthma attack

My husband gets up at 3 am with bad cough. As a child he used to have asthma. As he grew, it got reduced and then stopped. Now he is 48 years old. Can it recur? Are these asthma attack symptoms? If so, what should be done now? Is breathlessness also a symptom of asthma? Should I consult a doctor.
