What should you know about ubat asthma?

During an asthma flare, the airway lining can swell, surrounding muscle can tighten and mucus can increase. Symptoms may vary from day to day and can be triggered by viral infections, exercise, smoke, cold air, allergens or workplace exposures. Many people also have Allergic Rhinitis or sensitivity to House Dust Mite Allergy.

A cough or wheeze can have causes other than asthma. A clinician may assess your breathing pattern, symptom timing, triggers and response to treatment. Chronic Cough should be assessed rather than assumed to be asthma.

Use inhalers exactly as prescribed and ask for a technique check; poor technique can leave medicine in the mouth instead of reaching the airways. Keep a written action plan if your clinician provides one, and learn which inhaler is for regular control and which is for quick relief. Reduce exposure to known triggers, avoid smoking and arrange review if symptoms are becoming more frequent.

A Nebuliser Treatment may be used in some clinical settings, but it is not a replacement for a personalised asthma plan.

Get emergency help if breathing is severely difficult, you cannot speak comfortably, your lips look blue or grey, you become drowsy or confused, or your reliever is not helping. Arrange prompt medical review for worsening wheeze, repeated night waking, increasing use of reliever medicine or symptoms that interfere with normal activity.

Ask what your triggers may be, how to use each inhaler, what your action plan says, when to seek urgent help, and whether your symptoms need breathing tests or a treatment review.
