Medical Video: How to Naturally Treat Asthma
Here are tips for dealing with asthma that can help you live your life optimally.
1. Be realistic, but still creative
Living with a chronic illness does not mean your hopes and dreams must change, but the way to achieve them may be different. Give creative energy to achieve your goals.
2. Start overcoming stress
Living with chronic asthma can provide feelings of uncertainty, frustration, anger, and depression. These feelings can also affect family and friends. Some signs of stress are changing sleep patterns (such as sleeping longer or longer than usual), fatigue, pain in the body, pain, anxiety, irritability, tension and headache. Seek help by joining the support community to share experiences with other people who also experience this chronic disease. Individual counseling can also help. Another option is to use anti-depressant drugs.
3. Control negative thoughts
Don't get caught up in the past before the diagnosis of asthma. Look at this condition as a challenge that must be passed, not a problem that cannot be solved.
4. Become an expert in this disease
The more you and the people around you know about asthma, the easier it will be to overcome them. Ask the doctor to provide as much information as possible, including trusted sources from the internet. Take the time to explore this website, to find information about the diagnosis of asthma.
5. Educate family members and friends about asthma
The more people around you understand about asthma, the more support they can offer. They will also be aware of warning signs of an asthma attack. Offer a book or pamphlet for them to read, or have them accompany you to the doctor so they can also ask questions,
6. Learn how to organize daily activities
Facing the challenges of chronic diseases can be tiring. Avoid too much or too little activity to control asthma.
7. Relax ...
Do relaxation and meditation to focus on now, because stress and anxiety are the main triggers of an asthma attack. Relaxation techniques can also help prevent asthma attacks.
What needs to be remembered
Finally, don't reject the help that is available, both from a doctor, family and friends, community or support group. Research shows that people with chronic diseases who have extensive connections can survive better than isolated people. Seeking help from a doctor, support group or mental health professional is a vital step in overcoming chronic diseases and can restore physical and emotional health.
