So I decide to share something about asthma.
It's been my third severe asthma attack that I have... in between them was a smaller attack. This third time I'd like to share what I know about asthma. You can correct me if I am wrong.
What is asthma?
According to Medical News Today Asthma is a disease affecting the airways that carry air to and from
your lungs. People who suffer from this chronic condition (long-lasting
or recurrent) are said to be asthmatic.
The inside walls of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed.
This swelling or inflammation makes the airways extremely sensitive to
irritations and increases your susceptibility to an allergic reaction.
As inflammation causes the airways to become narrower, less air can pass through them, both to and from the lungs. That basically cover it all. And oh it's incurable (!@#$^*)
How I can suffer asthma?
I dunno. Really I have no idea because I wasn't having asthma in my teenage years except when I accidentally drink artificial sweeteners but that wasn't severe. But I guess it was coming from either my mom side or my dad. I'll stick to my mom side because some of my family suffer from allergic. I am allergic to a lot of things. Nowadays it was cold, hot weather, dust, seafood, artificial sweeteners and, off course, bloody hell chocolate.
What makes you having asthma attack?
The mild one was random. The severe one was artificial sweeteners, chocolate and sickness like flu and cough with too much mucus.
According to my doctor this 5 could activate my asthma :
1. Skip meals. Honestly I rarely skip meals.. So teng!
2. Not enough sleep. Red alert!!! I do sometimes have sleep deprivation because I like to read at night for me time. This is probably the major reason I have my second and third asthma attack.
3. Low body immune. When you feel weak you just have to adjust your workload so that it won overburden your body. Hands up! I can never just chill when I feel unwell and there's tons of chores to do.
4. Stressed. Some people stressed out over big thing but some people stressed out over small thing. I didn't know which one is me. But you can improve this spiritually, share your problems, do your hobby or you name it. Mens sana in corpore sano end it all.

5. Rarely exercise. Ooooh this is so me. But this year resolutions is for me to exercise more, I tried to work out 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes just to maintain my health. I have no goals of making six pack.
My doctor said allergen was no longer become the main factor as we never can avoid it. I mean who can avoid dust? However I'll write about allergic in another post.
How does it feel to have asthma attack?
Hell. Dyin for sure. Because you won't able to breath normally. Mine to the point that doing simple task as breathing, walking, standing, talking were a plain torture. Don't ask me how I carried my kid, it was a zone between conscious and passed out.

Medication for asthma
Great body immune. Probably I have a weak a body immune. Dunno.
And healthy lifestyle in which include what you eat and exercise. I have no problem with food because I didn't really like to eat greasy food. It was exercise which I loathe until a month ago when I start doing exercise. My doctor said to exercise only when you feel fit and have no symptoms of troubled breathing (like what I did yesterday in result doctor visit again). Breathing exercise routine is good to increase your health and lessen your asthma attack.

If you love medication as much as I do you probably need to ask your doctor but I get what you can see below. Also for this time I need to do nebulizer to lighten the mucus inside me as it was so thick.
I hope this help you aware of asthma. I went to Dr. Iwan Guntoro in BMC and I feel very satisfy with his explanation about asthma and he always encourage me to improve my body immune.
.Cheers.
