Default how to control allergic asthma? - 07-01-2010, 09:05 PM

My asthma has been a little out of control lately, so I decided to get some tests done, and in the process discovered that I am allergic to a lot of things, including all grasses, all maples, ragweed, dust and mold. Could these allergies be the cause of my breathing troubles? And if yes, what can I do to reduce the symptoms and cope with allergic asthma?

Welcome to the club! Am allergic to exactly the same as you described here. These allergens use to trigger my asthma symptoms, especially dust. This is why I decided to create a website for people like us who suffer from asthma, to help prevent symptoms and reduce asthma attacks. For a list of things you should do to help prevent your allergies, go to: http://www.asthmasymptoms86.com/allergies.html You can also go to: http://www.asthmasymptoms86.com/allergiesandasthma.html To learn a bit more on allergies and asthma. Copy and past the links in your browser, because it is not click able here. Don't know why that is!
I hope I have helped you a bit and follow these steps on my site to help prevent your allergies, which in return will help your asthma. All the best!

dark chocolate is a natural antihistamine so eat it up, also you will need to see the weather report as to when the ragweed is in season to reduce the allergies is to stay away from it, and yes you will have breathing problems with asthma brought on by allergies. You should get an inhaler from your doctor every time you have symptoms you should take one puff a day of solvent and then when your sick get something stronger like albatross. You can also see an homeopathic doctor or go to GNC and look for a homeopathic medicine specifically designed for molds and grasses it should be a hard pressed pill that you place under your tongue its a natural way to ingest what you are allergic to, to build up your immune system so that you can handle it better. I would also get a test from the allergist to see what foods your allergic to and stay away from them.

Treat your symptoms include avoiding things, lead to asthma attacks, keeping track of your symptoms and medication. In order to maintain the mold, the clean air out bathrooms, kitchens and basements often. Pets may cause allergy problems,If you have pets, keep your bedroom.

You spend a lot of time inside, so it's important to make your home a comfortable haven. To help you keep allergens manageable:

* Choose hardwood floors or ceramic tile instead of carpeting. Really love carpeting? Choose low-pile or unpadded material to help manage allergies and asthma symptoms, and to make housecleaning easier.
* Don't give dust a place to land. Use window shades or smooth vertical blinds instead of heavy drapes, horizontal blinds, or material covered verticals.
* Make the bedrooms off-limits to pets. Animal dander is a well-known allergy trigger for many people and is difficult -- almost impossible -- to completely clean away.
* Look for special bedding that's designed to be less permeable to allergens. Hypoallergenic bedding is easy to locate online.
* Avoid a tropical jungle indoors. Overwatered indoor plants can lead to mold growth -- and allergy symptoms.
* Keep bedroom area rugs to a minimum, and choose washable, low pile types to reduce dust and mold.
* Don't be a fan of fans. Fans help circulate dust and allergens. Use air-conditioning instead and change air filters regularly.
* To tackle mold-producing moisture in your bathroom, use a fan and/or window to exhaust warm, humid air after taking baths and showers.
* Wash shower curtains and bathroom tiles regularly, or use mold-killing solutions on both.
* Keep the bathroom in good repair, repairing leaks and drips. Wet surfaces are breeding grounds for mold.
* Wash sheets, blankets, and pillows in hot water of at least 130 degrees, then dry bedding on high. This helps kill dust mites -- a common allergy trigger.
* Remove laundry from the washing machine promptly to discourage mold and mildew growth.
* Make your vacuum your friend. A strong vacuum with a well-filtered containment system, used often, removes particles of every kind before they become airborne. Use extra care on heavily trafficked areas.
* Keep your house below 50% humidity to prevent mold growth. Install dehumidifiers in basements and other areas of the house where moisture tends to collect.
* Even the cleanest homes can have roaches. Pests like these can enter your home in all sorts of sneaky ways -- like the box your new flat-screened TV was shipped in. Because roaches can irritate allergy symptoms, control them with traps, bait, and pesticide sprays. If you use a pesticide, spray when no one is home, and air your house out well afterward.
