How can a person prevent from getting asthma?

Answer 1

• If possible, avoid whatever it is that triggers you Asthma.

• You need to work with your doctor to determine the right combination of medications for you. Asthma can be very well controlled with daily medications to where you rarely have to use a rescue inhaler even if you're around triggers or exercise.

• There are therapists who teach classes to teach people (children included) how to breath properly during an asthma attack. Most people panic. It's training the person not to panic and to learn to calm down and start breathing properly or leaning over the side of a sofa to ease the lungs. People who have several asthma attacks should sleep with their pillow propped up slightly, or, they should sleep on one side during the night with a pillow behind their back, then shift over to the other side and do the same thing. This is easier to do with children and harder to do for adults. It is also advisable for children and adults alike to have an air purifier in their bedroom and no pets in the room.

• Practice Pranayama. It is a breathing exercise. Or exercise regularly. Eat healthy non-oil food, drink lots of water. It's as simple as eat healthy, be healthy.

• Medications like Advair are used as preventatives to asthma also know what your personal triggers are such as a change in medicine could result in an attack,different people have different triggers (ones could be mold another could be humidity)talk to your asthma specialist about your triggers so you can be aware of them and reduce future attacks.pets are NOT bad for your asthma UNLESS you are allergic to that type of pet, many people get this confused. do not use your rescue inhaler more often or else it wont do anything the most you can do is two puffs every four hours or so. If you are still having a lot of trouble after about 20 minutes go to the hospital.

Answer 2

The only way to prevent asthma COMPLETELY is to stop being active. However not being active leads to worse problems, like becoming fatter and losing muscle.

But to help resist asthma, don't do major activity. Take more breaks than normal, and things like sprints are a very bad idea. Take medication as the doctor says you should take it.
Asthma could be caused by certain allergens, smoke, dust and mold.

There is no certain way to prevent asthma. The most you could possibly do is move to a good environment.

Also asthma could be generic, if it is you cant stop it...
In order to prevent asthma a person needs to understand how the lungs and the passage of air is affected leading to asthma and what environmental and other factors can cause constriction of the airways leading to asthma. In a society that has many environmental pollutants, processed foods and toxins incorporated in self care products asthma has been one of the illnesses to increase.

You may wish to consider researching into proper breathing such as the Buteyeko Method which has seen much success in addressing asthma. Also look into combatting environmental pollutants that affect the quality of the air we breathe

Answer 3

Simply, Not possible at this time..

It may be minimised by: -

Not smoking.

Ban all perfumes, deodorisers, toilet cleaners, soaps, vehicle emissions, methane, alcohol and much much more.

Destroy all pollen producing plants and, lightening which causes Ozone.

In reality, if you live healthy, are healthy, and have always been healthy, you have a slight chance of avoiding or minimising Asthma. The major reason some get asthma is from your genes. Could be your parents, Great grand parents or even much earlier from a gene that was dormant.

Some medical reports indicate that it is also caused by environmental pollution. The school of thought is still out on this, but evidence, though still in its' infancy, appears substatiated but "iffy".

Answer 4

You need to find out what triggers the asthma attack and then attack the disease. You may be allergic to something that brings the attack on. Dust mites, pollen, dander from animals, feathers and many other things can affect asthma if you are allergic to them. See a specialist in the field of Allergies and asthma. Hope this helps.

Another thing that may help (help me sometimes and i read about it online so probably helps others) is try to drink tea or coffee (or something with caffeine)

hope it will help you :-)

Answer 5

Step one would be prevention. Using a daily control medication will greatly reduce your chance of having an asthma attack.

Also you want to avoid whatever triggers your asthma. Dust, smoke, and pets are just a few popular triggers.

At the first sign of an asthma attack you want to use an inhaler to avoid the symptoms becoming worse.if using the inhaler as directed is not alleviating the symptoms, you may want to visit a hospital for treatment.

Answer 6

To prevent asthma, you would need to diagnose the type of asthma you have. There are asthma specialists who can help treat asthma and give suggestions on prevention. Some asthmatics need inhalers, while some should just stay from certain allergens or irritants. Also, some people are asthmatic in relation to exercise (exercise-induced asthma) and may need to have their exercise regulated, or have a supplemental inhaler to assist their workout needs.

Answer 7

You can't prevent asthma, it's just like allergies. You inherit it. You can't control whether you have it or not. But you can prevent asthma attacks. Don't frequently run for long periods of time, use inhalers and medications as prescribed as a doctor, eliminate dust, mold, and other allergens from your home and stay away from them in general.

Answer 8

Asthma can be difficult for some people to manage and control. First, it's vital to use your long-term meds every day. These meds typically control inflammation that contributes to asthma attacks. Make sure you keep an up-to-date rescue inhaler and use it as directed. Do not exceed recommended doses. If your meds do not control your symptoms, talk to your doctor. There are many new med combinations that work well, but you might need to try a few before finding what helps you the most.

You're right to ask about prevention tactics. So second, know your triggers. Allergens, dust, cigarette smoke, chemicals, chemical and perfumed odors, cooking odors, etc. are all known asthma triggers. Some people with COPD--of which asthma is as a chronic lung condition--are triggered by cold air or other so-called minor irritant. Drinking barely lukewarm water can be a trigger, while ice cold water or hot drnks trigger less often.

Third, avoid places you know might have triggers. Some people resort to wearing a 'dust mask' when outside on windy days. Other people put a scarf around the nose and mouth. Humified air, versus dry air, can help keep the airway moist. Drier air, especially inside during cold months, can dry the mucous membranes and trigger coughs that lead to an attack.

Fouth, have a doctor evaluate you for GERD, or acid reflux, and sinusitis. Both can produce annoying chronic cough that can set off an asthma attack.

Fifth, avoid people with colds and respiratory flu. Asthma makes you more prone to bronchitis and pneumonia. Always seek treatment if your asthma changes, worsens, or you have new symptoms.

Answer 9

i don't know if you can stop asthma but you can minimize the condition from worsening by staying away from smoking people.

Answer 10

An asthma attack can be prevented by using a puffer of ventolin or another substance that opens up your airways.
