Living with Asthma

Read this interesting article few days ago, so would like to share on topic regarding asthma.

Triggers of asthma means that it can cause the asthmatic attack, commonly they are some allergen which we inhaled into our lungs and start the asthmatic attack. Common asthma triggers included tobacco smokes, dust mites, exercise, pets, air pollutant, molds, infections.

But keep in mind that not everyone have the same triggers, you may sensitive to some triggers and some may not. To help you identify your triggers, you can write down what what you were doing before the attacks, if your asthma get worsen when you contact certain agents, then that agent is the triggers of your asthmatic attack, if you are not sure about it, you may discuss with your healthcare provider.

Many other things can make asthma worse. These include food additives, food preservatives, fragrances, some medicines, and emotions.

Knowing and avoiding your triggers will help keep your asthma under control.
