Know

persons. It is important to know the triggers in your case. Make positive efforts
to stay away from these triggers. This has been reported to have helped thousands
of asthmatics in preventing Asthma attacks.
Cleanliness
is Your Weapon
Most Asthma attacks
occur due to allergies to dust and polluting particles. Keeping your house and
environment clean will go a long way in reducing the probabilities of allergies
which lead to asthma. Regular washing of bed sheets, curtains, etc. should also
be practiced.
Keep
Your Pets off Sofas & Beds
Love your pets but keep them off sofas and beds. Pet dander
is a common trigger of asthma and it should be kept in mind while showering
your pet with love.
Stay
Smoke Free

The fumes from harsh cleaning agents and chemicals are also

Apart from the above, exercising regularly and keeping your
life stress free, also help in warding off chances of asthmatic attacks. Remember
to consult your Asthma Specialist
