Take these precautions to help you keep your asthma in control and prevent you from having severe attacks.
Identify your asthma triggers
Keep tabs of what triggers your asthma so you can avoid them. Take time to create an asthma diary, make them as detailed as possible so you will know which ones to stay away from.
Recognize the early signs of your asthma attack
Asthma attack almost always occurs with warning signs. You should know how to tell the early signs and symptoms of your attack before it gets worse. Take your medicines at the earliest signs of your symptoms to prevent it from worsening.
Avoid any type of smoke
Smoke is one of the worst triggers for asthma. So limit exposure to any type of smoke as much as possible, especially tobacco, fire fumes, fireworks and even candles. Also, don’t allow anyone to smoke in your home or in your car.
Stay away from allergens
Having asthma means you need to stay away from allergens. Exposure to allergens will increase the inflammation in your airways, making an asthma attack more likely.
Prevent developing colds
Do whatever you can to prevent from having colds. Avoid contact with people who has colds and wash your hands regularly, having flu can make your asthma symptoms much more worse.
Be up to date with your vaccinations
Get vaccinations that will protect you from catching the flu virus. Flu can make your asthma attack way worse. Get a flu shot or vaccine every year.
Be ready with your asthma action plan always
There are factors that you cannot control. So always be ready with your “asthma kit”. Always bring your medications with you, even when you feel okay. Also, keep your inhaler with you at all times. Your action plan should also include on what to do during a case of worse attack.
