Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. If you are not feeling well at present, I would suggest you to use
nebulizer and inhaler as instructed by your doctor. For example, rescue inhalers (those to be taken at time of emergency like levoalbutamol or
salbutamol etc).
If rescue inhalers/nebulizers do not improve your symptoms, I would suggest you to contact your doctor and get examined by him/her.
2. As you have chronic uncotrolled
asthma, regular use of
steroid inhalers is very important for you. Please do not discontinue/decrease the dose without instructions by your doctor.
3. I usually prescribe my such patients
montelukast in addition to inhalers.
4. I would suggest you
allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.
5. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific
immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms and hence gradually reduce medicine requirements.
6. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
7. Regular breathing exercises and nutrition rich in minerals & vitamins will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
