The Breathless SpUni-corn PT.2

Hey my Lovelies,

How are you keeping?! I previously posted the first part of The Breathless SpUni-corn series a couple of months ago and now I’m back for part 2.0 where I mention a few things that have helped me to gain a steady level of control over my asthma.

In this post I’ll speak about:

Prescribed asthma medication
Habits I’ve tried to adopt in order to help alleviate asthma symptoms/attacks

Asthma Alleviation

Clenil Modulite 100
Salamol
Fostair 100/6

Habits that have helped to alleviate the affects of my Asthma

Taking my recommended doses of medication prescribed for my asthma by my GP nurse
Drinking room temperature water as soon as I wake up
Using my Air Humidifier especially at night to keep air circulated (I try to avoid opening my window especially at night time as I struggle to breathe with the air pressure change at night time
Using a cambridge face mask when I’m in/out of the house, feeling under the weather, in polluted areas
Getting the flu jab ( got my first one in December)
Covering my chest with a scarf or two when outside
Breathing in hot steam from a shower to clear airways whilst taking deep breathes

I had an asthma check-up last week by a nurse at my regualr GP’s. Everything was fine, I just mentioned what my triggers and asthma irritance are but my oxygen levels have been ok recently as long as I avoid stairs that is, haha

I’m continuing to take my Fostair inhaler twice a day and whenever I feel my chest getting tight or finding it a little harder to breathe then I take my Salamol inhaler in between (which has thankfully cut down a lot since the start of winter)

If you suffer from asthma what are some things that have helped you to better manage this chronic illness?!
