How can the pre-asthma symptoms cured completely?

Relax. When you feel your asthma flaring up, the muscles around your airway are tensing up, making it harder to breathe... so whatever you're doing, STOP!

Have you been to the doctor concerning your asthma? You should have been prescribed various medicines to control your asthma... including:

Your fast-acting inhaler. This is your first line of defense when your asthma flares up. Take only the prescribed dose. NEVER EXCEED YOUR PRESCRIBED DOSE FOR ANY MEDICATION! If your fast-acting inhaler does not work within a few minutes after taking it, use your breathing machine (nebulizer) using prescribed medication at the correct dosage. IF YOUR BREATHING MACHINE DOES NOT WORK, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY!!

(I cannot stress that enough. Believe me, I learned the hard way.)

After your asthma is back under control, continue using your preventive medications or see your doctor if you either don't have preventive medications or if the ones you have don't work. There's plenty of medications out there, and if the ones you have don't work, it's your right to find ones that do. You don't have to suffer.

P.S. : sometimes it's a good idea to take your fast-acting inhaler before you start exercising. Ask your doctor if this is a good idea for you- remember: everyone is different, so if something works for one person, it does not necessarily mean it will work for you.

God bless!

Are you supposed to swallow the stuff in an inhaler?

You should inhale deeply as you pump the inhaler. The medicine in the inhaler will travel to your lungs as you breathe in. Try to hold your breath for 7 seconds after you inhale, to give the medicine a chance to work on your lungs before you breath out the air that was in your lungs.

You might taste the bitter medicine a little bit; if you taste a lot it means you aimed the inhaler at your tongue and should probably try again so that the medicine can go toward your throat and down to your lungs.
