Tips to avoid asthma attacks?

Apart from taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, someone with asthma can't do more. I know, I have asthma, I've suffered from seizures. The best is for her to bring an inhalator everywhere and if she feels as if she can't breath or the signs of attacks, she should use it, and use the other allergy medication (nose sprays, eardrops, tablets).

Hi Lauren, Sorry to hear about your friend :( As an asthmatic myself I know how painful and stressful asthma attacks can be. Does your friend uses a preventer inhaler? If not she should talk to her doctor about getting one. Preventer inhalers are use to prevent or reduce asthma attacks from occurring. Please don't mistake a preventer inhaler if a reliever inhaler :) Reliever or rescue inhalers if you prefer are used as an emergency for fast relieve from asthma symptoms. Preventers on the other hand take a much longer period to help prevent the asthma symptoms in the first place. There could be a number of reasons why she is experiencing such frequent attacks such as asthma triggers, seasonal asthma or she just needs some new medications as the one(s) she is using is not strong enough for her. My best advice would be for your friend to seek professional help ASAP. Once she gets her asthma under control she can do what I am doing right now, which is to practice yoga, breathing exercises and learning to avoid her asthma triggers. This will also help to reduce the dependency on medications to treat asthma. Another tip I would give is to get a peak flow meter to monitor her asthma symptoms. I created a website www.asthmasymptoms86.com for people like her who would like to learn how to get their asthma under control. There you will find out more about preventers, relievers, asthma triggers, seasonal asthma, peak flow meters and much more! :) I wish your friend all the best!

you have to avoid your asthma triggers, whether they be allergies or whatever. there is plenty of information available on asthma out there; also, she should talk to a doctor and get medical help.

You should help her avoid tiring activities like running or playing too much.They also have those inhalers that they should bring all the time. Also help her avid fod that will trigger her asthma..

I do have asthma and mostly have attacks every month. I sometimes ran out of meds so what I do, I do the "Pranayama" exercise. It's a series of breathing exercise to relax you lungs.. Also before I go to sleep I make sure I take my medicine. A doctor once told me that at night time, a persons' body is much relax compared during the day and this make asthma attack more triggering once the nerves and muscles in your airways are relax this could lead to having tight airways and this could lead you to having difficulty in breathings.

I am also an asthma patient.I also had frequent and serious attacks previously.It's very painful. In order to control it, I have a try on many kinds of therapies. Now I use some medecines daily and do some massage. I feel better now. You can learn it by visiting here. http://arielqiao/hubpages/_earning/hub/controlasthma Hope it is useful to your friend.

Asthma is usually caused by allergies.The best thing to prevent asthma attacks is to know what triggers it and avoid it.Some common allergens are dust,pollen,animal hairs and some food.Some can have asthma attacks from sports,medicines like antibiotics and aspirin,and emotional stress.If your friend knows what triggers her asthma she can avoid those factors.Doctors also prescribed steroids to control the inflammation of the airways brought by asthma and inhalers to be used during asthma attacks.

I have an asthma and I avoid it through taking advance medication such as using nebulizer before leaving home so that I'm confident that whatever I do that day, my asthma won't attack. But if my asthma still attack, I always bring an inhaler on my bag for me to use whenever my asthma comes out so that it will prevent severe attacks.

It is hard to avoid asthma attacks, especially this year as the pollen count is double what it should usually be because of the warm winter. Your friend can try to avoid them by staying in doors as much as possible, using a humidifier, and making sure they stay on top of their asthma medication and have an inhaler ready to go at any moment. Also, they should avoid exerting themselves too much, especially on dry hot days and windy ones when everything is blowing around in the air. If you want to develop awareness, hold a bake sale or something to that sort, and have the money go to an asthma foundation.

Ways to avoid an asthma attack would be to stay away from allergens. Have an inhaler on hand, as albuetrol is the main medicine used to treat asthma. I hear there is another type of medicine, but I do not know the name of it. Try not to workout too vigrously. This can lead to an asthma attack. Although over time you can build up a tolerance. Excerising slowly and doing more and more will help reduce asthma symptoms and help it be kept under control.
