Tips to prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms
To Forestall Exercise-Incited Asthma, Ideas Include:
- Make sure that your asthma is managed effectively to decrease its chance of exercise-induced asthma attacks.
- Always carry your reliever medication and spacer with you.
- As per your Asthma Action Plan, always take your reliever medicine at least 15 minutes prior to engaging in any physical exertion or exposure to heat.
- As is common with exercise, always warm up before beginning.
- Asthma symptoms may surface while exercising; to respond accordingly, take your reliever drug if the symptoms appear and pause immediately to take care of any needs that arise. Once symptoms have subsided, try back into activity if able. However, should they recur within minutes, take additional doses until symptoms subside; returning may not always be recommended as such indications require ongoing management.
- After exercise, make sure to cool down properly. Asthma symptoms may present up to 30 minutes after exercising; take your reliever prescription immediately if symptoms appear after physical exertion.
