Symptoms may be worse at night, but not always. Proper medical management is critical to preventing these symptoms. Preventing asthma episodes is the best long-term defense. Create a safe harbor in your home by reducing and controlling the triggers that may increase inflammations that lead to asthma episodes. Every room in your home has triggers that can make you feel miserable.
Many people suffer from dust mite allergies.
Dust mites are invisible and thrive in warm, humid environments such as mattresses and pillows, carpets and curtains, even upholstered furniture. Major airborne irritants are cigarette and wood smoke. Persons with asthma should avoid exposure, especially to cigarette smoke. Other significant asthma triggers include animal dander, molds and roaches. Most asthma patients can control their asthma through proper medical management.
