Medical Video: Yoga - Top 6 Yoga Asanas to Cure Asthma - Breathing Exercises for Beginners
Living with asthma as a chronic disease may be difficult. Unlike headaches, flu or fractures, chronic diseases will not disappear forever. Chronic diseases such as asthma can cause pain, fatigue, stress and disturbances in everyday life. Chronic illness can also change a positive self-image to be negative and make the sufferer stay away from family, friends and activities.
Chronic diseases can also affect a person's ability to go to school or work. In extreme cases, physical limitations (such as shortness of breath that often accompany asthma) can require a person to adjust work, school and entertainment activities. Changes in employment conditions and expenses, such as insurance and medical expenses, can cause financial difficulties.
However, with these challenges, many people can overcome asthma symptoms, prevent complications and enjoy daily routines and activities. The following tips will help you overcome asthma.
Steps to dealing with asthma
People with asthma should not deny their condition. Ignoring your disease condition can actually make your disease out of control, asthma attacks are more frequent, and the chance of complications increases. The following tips can be done to help you survive asthma.
- Consult with a doctor to control your condition, from medication to changes in lifestyle and environment. Follow an asthma treatment plan given by a doctor.
- Use the treatment appropriately, including using drugs on schedule and using the inhaler correctly. Ask for instructions or demonstrations before buying.
- Know the symptoms of an asthma attack, such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and using drugs that work quickly given by the doctor.
- Use peak flow meter to monitor conditions.
- Control allergens at home. Certain triggers (such as cigarette smoke and animal hair) can worsen asthma. Follow doctor's advice for a safe home for people with asthma.
- Regular exercise. If an asthma attack limits physical activity, ask a doctor's advice to combine exercise with daily activities. Research shows that people with lung problems benefit physically and emotionally from physical activity.
