Treatment...: The most common treatment for asthma include bronchodilator and steroid inhalers. Other treatments depend on symptoms present. Avoidance of triggers is an important part of therapy. Avoid smoking. Use a bronchodilator inhaler pre-exercise if you notice an increase of symptoms during exercise. Follow your doctor's instructions.

General advice ??: The best advise for an asthma patient is to get a good evaluation, set up a reasonable treatment plan & comply with that plan. Proper followup & a good relationship with your pcp helps assure you can adjust treatment as changes arise.

Were you tested?: If you have been tested a course of treatment should have been prescribed. Depending on the severity of your asthma, various treatments may be started. Mild infrequent attacks may be treated with a rescue inhaler whereas more frequent severe attacks may require a controller inhaler to be added. The best course must be determined by you and your physician. Good Luck

Lifestyle change: Avoid all milk products since the milk protein causes respiratory tract inflammation. Also avoid gluten containing foods. Getting 30 -45 min of sunshine at noon daily or taking vitamin D3 10,000 IU/day and taking a good probiotic (not yogurt) help reduce inflammation Yoga breathing exercises 10-30 min/day help too. This may help avoid the need for meds
