SPEAKER: Asthma can be scary.
Being prepared beforehand,
can help ease some
of the anxiety.
To be ready for a worst case
scenario, have an action plan
in place.
Talk to your doctor to customize
a plan that
is right for your medical needs.
To start, immediately remove
the trigger.
Or when possible, move to a well
ventilated room.
In order to open your air
passages, sit up straight.
Take
off any tight fitting clothing
so that there is
no additional blockage.
Use your prescribed medications,
such as the inhaler.
Your doctor will have prescribed
the proper dosage.
After taking your medicine,
take long, slow, deep breaths
to allow air into your lungs.
If you do not feel
any improvement, call for help
immediately.
