You are starting to panic because you have been told you have asthma. There is no cure for asthma, as it is a chronic disease. Your life shouldn’t come to a standstill once you are diagnosed with asthma. The following article will lay out some easy ways to care for asthma carefully and effectively.
If you suffer from asthma, don’t smoke, and avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. This means you need to keep away from tobacco products and only seek out jobs where you aren’t exposed to any harmful chemicals, smoke or vapors.
What kind of asthma do you have? Learning about your type of asthma will help you manage its impact on your life. Those whose asthma is exacerbated by exercise will know to always have an inhaler on hand. Treating asthma is less difficult if you and your physician are aware of the triggers that bring on an attack.
Smoking should never be done around children, especially a child who suffers from asthma. It has been medically proven that smoking can cause asthma or make existing symptoms worse. It’s best to also keep your child away from places in which others will be smoking.
Asthma Symptoms
Certain prescription medications have the potential to cause asthma symptoms. Aspirin and some other NSAIDs may do this. The medication you take for high blood pressure can also cause asthma symptoms. It is important for your doctor to know your complete medical history, including any medications you are currently taking, so they can best treat your asthma.
If you’re suffering from an asthma attack that’s moderate or mild, then work to force all the air you can from your lungs. Blow your breath out as hard and fast as you can. Truly pump all air from your lungs! Inhale in a series of three, or three shallow breaths and one deep breath. After your lungs are filled with air, forcefully exhale again. Pay attention to what you are doing and follow a regular rhythm. When air is forcefully exhaled, it allows a fresh intake of air to fill your lungs. You might cough hard or create mucus, but its just a sign your breathing is getting back to normal.
As is evident by what you have read, preparedness is the key to managing asthma. When you know everything you can about your specific asthma triggers, you can use that knowledge to avoid potential triggers. Hopefully, this article will leave you better informed and well prepared to effectively combat this very serious and potentially life changing disease.
