Allergy Asthma Relief - Get A Plan To Be Ready Any Time Allergy Asthma Strikes

Posted: May 27, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

If you suffer from allergy asthma then you need to know all about getting relief as quickly as possible from an unexpected attack. Allergy asthma can strike at any time of your life. Many infants and children suffer from it, whilst other people may be into old age before they have an attack.

If you haven't had an allergic asthma attack for a long time, it's easy to believe you're never going to have another one. But the chances are that you will, hence the importance of a plan so that you will know how to handle it the next time.

A vital part of that plan is knowing the warning signs of an impending attack. They are always there. They might include a sudden difficulty in breathing, a feeling of anxiety, or simply an itch that won't go away. You'll have consulted a specialist at some stage after your first attack, whether that was in childhood or more recently. Make sure you stay in contact with a specialist from time to time throughout your life and have regular checkups so you know as much as possible about the condition you have to live with.


Try and establish the cause of each attack - the allergen that set if off. This could be dust mites, tobacco smoke, grass pollen or just polluted air from a busy main road. Although there's more to preventing another attack than just avoiding those allergens, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

Next, always carry your medications with you, whether these be anti-histamine sprays, a homeopathic remedy or anything else. It doesn't matter, as long as it brings relief from your asthma. Make sure that whoever is with you for any length of time, e.g. a travel companion or work colleague, knows where it is kept in case you're not capable of getting hold of it owing to the severity of the attack.

Although you won't want to burden your companions with too much information about your asthma, most genuine friends won't mind discussing with you occasionally what to do should you have an attack when you're alone with them. The important thing is that once an attack commences you should immediately take whatever medication you rely on, and then, as far as possible, relax, sit upright, and concentrate on your breathing. Easier said than done, certainly, but that's all the more reason for anyone with you to know what to do to help you with this.

One thing that assists a more rapid recovery in most cases is to carry out an alternative health treatment in the form of a little acupressure exercise, as follows. Find the two hollows next to your chest muscles just below the collar bone on each side, and press into them firmly but gently for two or three minutes, or for however long you feel comfortable with. If someone else can do this for you it would be even better as you can then relax your arms and increase the effectiveness of the exercise.

It sounds a weird way of bringing allergy asthma relief, but you should find that it helps enormously.
