หอบหืด...เรื่องเรื้อรังเพราะปัญหาใกล้ตัว

<p>When asthma strikes, happiness in life inevitably declines because you probably cannot sleep normally and cannot perform daily activities to their full potential. Even sports cannot be done as desired due to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Did you know that asthma can become a serious problem that can be life-threatening? Therefore, we want everyone to learn how to properly and appropriately manage asthma.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;">Dr. Winai Boveja, Pulmonologist, Pulmonary Medicine Clinic, Phyathai 3 Hospital, explained asthma in simple terms:</span> Asthma is a condition where the airways narrow due to the contraction of muscles around the bronchi, caused by inflammation and swelling of the bronchial lining. This makes it difficult for air to enter the lungs, causing breathing difficulties. When shortness of breath worsens, wheezing sounds occur during breathing. In severe cases, breathing may become so difficult that it can lead to sudden death if not treated promptly.</p>
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Are you experiencing these symptoms?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Coughing in the middle of the night</li>
<li>Wheezing sounds during wheezing or coughing</li>
<li>Chronic cough that does not improve with allergy treatment</li>
<li>Chronic cough that improved significantly after using bronchodilators</li>
<li>Heavy exercise causing breathlessness and wheezing sounds</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Asthma diagnosis</h2>
<p>Doctors will take the patient&#8217;s history, perform a physical examination, and conduct lung function tests to confirm whether it is asthma. If diagnosed, the severity can be assessed using Spirometry, and in some cases, chest X-rays may be considered.</p>
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Treatment when asthma is diagnosed</h2>
<ol>
<li>Reduce asthma exacerbations</li>
<li>Reduce nighttime shortness of breath</li>
<li>Reduce emergency room visits</li>
<li>Improve quality of life</li>
</ol>
<p>Early treatment can effectively control the disease from the start. Besides regularly taking prescribed medication, <span style="color: #008080;">self-care is also an important factor in disease control</span>, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid triggers that cause symptoms, such as cold environments, flower pollen, dust, dust mites, cigarette smoke, animal fur, certain exercises, and some foods</li>
<li>Maintain good health and hygiene around the patient
<ul>
<li>Eat nutritious food</li>
<li>Exercise regularly, consulting closely with a doctor about suitable sports</li>
<li>Get enough sleep and rest</li>
<li>Avoid alcoholic beverages</li>
<li>Do not smoke</li>
<li>Keep living spaces, workplaces, cars, furniture, and belongings clean at all times</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Always carry medication</li>
<li>Receive continuous treatment and set treatment goals with your doctor</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #008080;">Therefore, when you start to notice abnormal symptoms, you should see a specialist from the beginning for good treatment outcomes and a good quality of life.</span></p>
