What are the risk factors of asthma and playing sports?
the risk factors of asthma when playing sport are mainly that you could pass out or have a severe asthma attack. my advice is to have your ventalation or puffa with you at all times when you are playing sport.
Can you have an asthma attack in your sleep?
Yes, but at a time like that, your body will wake you up, so this type of attack, while frightening, is rarely fatal. And if you are taking the correct medication that your doctor has prescribed, such attacks will be less likely to occur. in fact, for many people, their symptoms are well-controlled on their medication and they do not have an attack while they are sleeping. But there are some people who have severe asthma and they might at times have an attack while asleep. At such times, the person will awake suddenly and then use a rescue inhaler to open the airways. If you think you may have asthma, it is important to see a pulmonologist and get properly diagnosed and treated. He or she will probably give you an asthma medication that keeps your lungs open, as well as a rescue inhaler that you can use in the event that you have an emergency.
Is ashthma a deadly disease?
Yes and No. YES *It can cause death if you don't keep on it. My little brother has asthma and he's in the hospital about 10 times a year. If we don't take him to the hospital when he has an asthma attack he could die. So yes. Just keep on it and if you can carry a rescue inhaler. NO *It won't cause death. ONly as long as your on top of it. Medication is your best resource. That or breathing treatments/inhalers. So No it's not going to kill you aslong as you have a doctor or someone who has experienced it by your side. Keep posted for more asthma questions that I've aswered.

Why would doctors ask a patient who has asthma to write down the times and places that they had asthma attack?
Doctors do this because asthmatics tend to have 'triggers' that cause asthma attacks. These triggers can be pet dander, dust, pollen, cold air, chemicals, or many other inhaled particles. Stress and other events can bring on an attack as well. Many people with asthma are allergic to something and develop asthma through this allergy, however, triggers are not always that specific allergen. The doctors are merely trying to determine what your triggers are, and if you might be allergic to something.
Can allergies lead to asthma?
Some studies have shown that people with asthma are more likely to suffer panic attacks. Having asthma was linked to a 4.5-fold increase in the risk of developing panic disorder, a condition characterized by repeated, unexplained panic attacks. And people with panic disorder were six times as likely as people without the anxiety condition to develop asthma over the 20 year follow-up period.The asthma link was much stronger among people who had panic disorder than in those who had infrequent panic attacks. Smokers and those with a family history of allergies were also at increased risk. Smoking is known to exacerbate both asthma and panic disorder."Asthma is a very frightening condition to have," says Mike Thomas, MD. "When you repeatedly have episodes where you are fighting for breath it is not a great leap to think that that might push you toward a formal anxiety disorder if you are vulnerable."
Can you still dive With asthma?
I have had asthma for 13 years now, and I have driven many many miles since I was first diagnosed. Driving while having an asthma attack is not preferable, but it can still be done. The best thing for everyone's safety is to pull over some where safe and use your rescue inhaler. Because I had small children when I was first diagnosed, I wanted to be sure that everyone would be safe if I had an asthma attack when driving. So I taught my son how to steer the car over to the side of the road and put the car into park,just in case mom couldn't. All my children also knew how to call 911 by 4 years old for just such an emergency.
