He had a bronchitis attack.
He had an Asthma attack.
He had an Asthma crisis.
To me an attack suggests a shorter time, whereas crisis it´s a longer one.
An asthma attack could be a specific attack, if the patient took his medicine it would be treated (then the patient would be relieved). Let´s say the patient has another attack every other fours hours, then would be a crisis.
In the case in point, the person could't sleep all night, I would say he had a crisis.
"I don´t eat shrimps or else I get an allergic reaction right away."

Difícil dizer qual a mais usada. Eu, pessoalmente, vejo muito as opções com "attack": a sudden short period of suffering from an illness, especially an illness that you have often. [Longman Dictionary]
a bronchitis attack
an attack of asthma
Usa-se "attack of + nome da doença" ou "nome da doença + attack". Um dos verbos apropriados é "have.
