I had an asthma attack at swim practice and I’m afraid to go back. Should I go or wait until I start meds?

Question by missitalia: I had an asthma attack at swim practice and I’m afraid to go back. Should I go or wait until I start meds?
I just found out that I had asthma, and this was my first swim practice for the season. I haven’t started medication yet (but will when my prescription comes in) should i swim with non-medicated asthma?

Best answer:

Answer by Evan M.
You can swim but don’t push yourself too far or hard bc u will have an asthma attack and without a rescue inhaler it could end bad. I’m sure someone on ur team has an inhaler so u may ask around and see if u could borrow one if u have an attack.

How to treat asthma and how to prevent allrgic asthma attacks?

Question by donna belle p: How to treat asthma and how to prevent allrgic asthma attacks?
I have always been sensitive to air pollution, smoke, dust, pollen and other things that trigger asthma. How can I help myselfwith asthma attacks?

Best answer:

Answer by julie w
I was going to suggest you stay away from things you are allergic to………….but?? Kinda hard for you being surrounded by them all. An air purifier would be a good thing to have in your home.
Have you seen a doctor? I’m allergic to dogs, cats etc and I carry an Inhaler, Ventolin I think.
It clears my lungs very quickly. If you haven’t already got one I suggest you do. I carry mine with me at all times. You just never know.
All the best

How is exercise induced asthma different to regular asthma?

Question by SPEED N FITNESS: How is exercise induced asthma different to regular asthma?
My asthma only kicks in whenever I begin to run or jog, and it always last for the first 15 minutes making breathing difficult. But I refuse to use an inhaler and I push through and keep running even though the air going in to my lungs is tiny. After a while my chest loosens up and my breathing returns to normal. So how is my asthma different to regular asthma?

Best answer:

Answer by Zam
It’s no different. What triggers an episode is only difference.

Asthma Awareness Month Ending but Important Message Remains

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) May 28, 2008

Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), a collaboration of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, and the World Health Organization, kicked off Asthma Awareness Month in May with World Asthma Day, their annual campaign to help educate asthma sufferers around the world. Health care groups, asthma educators, and supportive companies who are interested in increasing asthma awareness were encouraged to participate in spreading this year’s important message: “You can control your asthma”.

One dedicated company involved in this global initiative is Smartsilk(TM), a Montreal-based asthma and allergy friendly(TM) certified bedding manufacturer. They joined this month-long effort to raise awareness with a bilingual educational campaign as well as a World Asthma Day giveaway. SmartSilk’s efforts were aimed mostly at pediatric hospitals since the numbers of childhood asthma have been steadily on the rise.

As part of the initiative, asthma and allergy friendly(TM) bedding sets were donated by Smartsilk(TM) to top hospitals such as Children’s Hospital Boston which is the primary pediatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School; Bridgeport Hospital of Yale New Haven Health; Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University; The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto; and the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

Collaborating with GINA, Smartsilk(TM) also distributed postcards in English and French with tips for asthma sufferers on how they could control their asthma. According to GINA guidelines, the four steps that asthma sufferers can take to control their asthma are as follows:

-Take your asthma medications the way your doctor tells you to take them;

-Know the causes of your asthma symptoms and how to respond to them;

-Work with your doctor to control your asthma; and,

-Act quickly to treat asthma attacks.

Besides their work with the hospitals, Smartsilk(TM) also sponsored Seja’s Run, a race held in Toronto which raised funds for the Asthma Society of Canada.

Smartsilk(TM) is committed to helping educate the public about all aspects of asthma and will continue their efforts throughout the year.
