What Is Asthma??????
What Causes Asthma Symptoms?????
Exercise can induce asthma symptoms in people who have no other asthma triggers.
Exercise is a trigger for 90% of people with asthma.
Known as rescue, reliever and quick relief medications
Reverses symptoms fast
Bronchodilator inhaled directly to the lungs
Begins working immediately, peaks at 5-10 minutes
Used for sudden symptoms or to prevent exercise induced flare ups.
Should be carried at ALL times by ANY person with asthma
Prevents asthma symptoms from starting
Taken daily by people with persistent asthma
Brings down inflammation/treats constriction
Used by some (usually moderate or severe) asthma patients to monitor ongoing lung function to detect changes
Also known as a “spacer” or valved holding chamber (VHC)
Delivery of medication over 100% more effective
To a person with persistent asthma, asthma can be a LOT more than a blue inhaler!
If not dealt with effectively, asthma can impact many areas of a person’s life . . . Physical, emotional and social.
Some of the time, you can coexist fairly peacefully with asthma, but others it feels as if your body is working AGAINST you instead of with you!
DON’T BE
AFRAID
