When it comes to asthma, there are a few things you should avoid in order to stay safe, avoid flare-ups and remain comfortable. The two biggest ones are air quality and overextending yourself.
When air quality is rated at 101 or higher you may want to consider changing your activities or increasing your medications on these days. Those with more severe asthma might even notice flare-ups with air quality ratings between 51 and 100. For that reason, it’s a good idea to check air quality before any activity, which can usually be done easily through virtually any weather app.
It’s also very important that you avoid overexertion, especially if you suffer from exercise-induced asthma. To do this, you may want to consider monitoring your respiratory status before and throughout exercise. Doing a proper warm-up beforehand and taking any asthma medication, such as an inhaler, can also help ensure you keep this condition under control and are able to enjoy your life and your favourite activities.
