Avoid projects that raise dust. If you cannot, then use a dust mask, which is available at drugstores and hardware stores. Review exercise habits and consider adjusting your routine. Consider exercising indoors, which may limit your exposure to asthma triggers. Avoid all types of smoke, even smoke from a fireplace or burning leaves.
Smoke irritates the eyes, nose and bronchial tubes.
If you have asthma, you should not smoke and people should never smoke in your presence. Reduce stress and fatigue. Read labels carefully. If you have asthma, work with your health care provider to identify the triggers that cause your asthma attacks. Together, you can devise a strategy to limit your exposure to these triggers, help control your symptoms and make sure your breathing is not severely obstructed.
