Asthma Sufferers Need An Exercise Induced Asthma Treatment PlanBefore You Play Part of your exercise induced asthma treatment plan is to know when not to exercise and how to exercise properly. You should not exercise at times when the weather is extremely hot or extremely cold. You should not exercise when you are feeling sick or even just after recovering from a bad illness, because your body will still be weak. You also should avoid exercising by roads during rush hour or times of really heavy traffic. If you have ragweed allergies, then don't exercise when the pollen count is really high. A sensible exercise induced asthma treatment plan also includes a warm up period and a cool down period for every time you exercise, play or participate in a sport. You only need to do some stretches or other warm up routines for about ten to fifteen minutes and the same again after the session. You can ask your doctor for warm up and cool down tips. Medications Another core part of exercise induced asthma treatment plans are the medications or inhalers that you need to carry with you at all times. When an attack begins, you can sit down and automatically reach for the medications. Some medications are to be taken before exercise, including beta-2 agonist inhalers. Other medications are pills taken as directed in a drug family called lukotriene inhibitors. These can interact badly with some herbal and aromatherapy remedies, so be sure to ask your doctor about any possible side effects before you start taking the complimentary or alternative exercise induced asthma treatments. Remember also to avoid many over the counter painkillers like aspirin and NSAIDs because they also do not play well with asthma medication. There should be prominent warnings on your asthma medications about the potential interactions, but still keep this in mind. Over the counter cough medicine - whether in sprays, liquids or pills - also can interact badly with your asthma medications. You need to talk to your doctor about alternatives to over the counter painkillers and cough medicines with your exercise induced asthma treatment plan. |
