What to do when you have an asthma attack? Try this

Although asthma is a chronic disease, if you don't receive emergency treatment when an asthma attack occurs, it can lead to breathing difficulties or even death. When an asthma attack occurs, you must remain calm, breathe slowly, and use abdominal breathing to relieve asthma.

1. What to do if you have an asthma attack

1 Immediately open your mouth and shout, or you can sing, because singing generally uses abdominal breathing, which can reduce the breathing difficulty during asthma attacks and relieve asthma symptoms.

2 Maintain a correct standing posture, then lean forward slightly, mainly to regulate the body's breath for normal delivery, then slowly stroke the chest with your hands, and cooperate with the upper breathing exercises, which can also greatly relieve asthma.

3 Immediately run to an open and fresh place, or do what you like. You should know that asthma is mostly caused by poor breathing, which is caused by the patient's bad mood, so you must learn to adjust your mood.

Second, first aid measures for asthma attacks :

(1) Assist the patient to sit or lie down to rest; or let the patient kneel on the bed holding a pillow with the waist leaning forward. This position helps the patient breathe.

(2) Quickly take out the home oxygen bottle and let the patient inhale a high-flow oxygen of 3L per minute through a nasal cannula or mask.

(3) Keep the patient warm, maintain a quiet environment, and encourage the patient to cooperate with treatment.

(4) The room is well ventilated and the air is fresh, but there is no draft. Avoid irritating gases such as kerosene, smoke, paint, etc. in the room.

(5) Immediately call for help from an emergency center or go directly to a hospital emergency room for treatment.
