  • my husband has asthma and sometimes he wheezes and one time he had a really hard time breathing. he cant go to the doctors yet to get an inhaler, so i was just curious if there's anything that can help him when starts having a hard time breathing.

  • Answer:

    Asthmatics need to have regular dietary times. Instead of eating one full meal, it is better to have several light ones. As far as possible, keep the tummy half empty. Avoid having cold meals/drinks, as well as ice/ice creams. Also avoid experimenting with diets. Think twice before doing strenuous activities, however light walking is OK.But don't walk out when it is chilly, windy or cold. Practise regular breathing exercise. When an attack is imminent; avoid talking. Listen to lulling music. Watching gripping movies can help to take away thought from asthma. A peg or two of brandy well diluted in warm water is good as it can help in broncho-dialatation. More of it can be counter-productive. Avoid tasks that require effort; avoid also cleaning dusting etc. When the attack is on, the patient needs to be helped. Rather than lying down, it is better to lean forward. this help to ease the lungs. It is okay to sit on a chair and put the head on the table. It will be good to sooth the muscles at the back by massaging lightly and frequently. Go to urinate regularly; if you hold urine, it might trigger cough. Try learning yoga.It will help alot

-drinking water helps, but cold water just makes my asthma worse -try taking his mind off of his breathing, the more he thinks about it the less chance he has for his tight airways to relax -make sure he's sitting up, its a lot harder to breathe lying down, and when he sleeps make sure he sleeps on his back, possibly even slightly sitting up -avoid cold foods, and dairy, they tend to aggravate it, especially ice cream -i've heard vitamin c helps, but so far i've yet to see that be true -drink warm tea, chamomile, black, green and echinacea are all really good for the breathing - there is tea, its a bit hard to find, its made by yogi teas. Its called breathe easy and it helps my breathing so much
