Asthmatics should be aware of their environment and the things they come into contact with. There are a variety of things that can trigger an asthma attack, and avoiding them is the best way to stay healthy.

Air Pollutants
Air pollutants can aggravate asthma symptoms. Pollutants like smoke, dust and pollen can cause inflammation in the airways and trigger an attack. Asthmatics should avoid air pollution as much as possible.

Cigarette Smoke
Smoking is a major asthma trigger. Even secondhand smoke can be dangerous for asthmatics. If you have asthma, it's best to avoid areas where people are smoking.

Strong Odors
Strong odors, such as perfumes and cleaning products, can be irritating to asthmatics. They can cause airway constriction and trigger an attack. Asthmatics should be mindful of any strong smells they come into contact with.

Cold Air
Cold air can cause airway constriction and trigger an asthma attack. Asthmatics should avoid exposure to cold air as much as possible, especially during the winter months.

Physical Activity
Physical activity can be beneficial for asthmatics, but it can also trigger an attack. Asthmatics should avoid exercise in cold, dry air and try to exercise in warm, humid conditions. It's also important to warm up and cool down slowly.

Asthmatics should avoid exposure to environmental triggers such as allergens, irritants, and pollutants. Allergens can trigger asthma symptoms and include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Irritants can also cause asthma attacks and include smoke, strong odors, and aerosol sprays. Pollutants, such as vehicle exhaust, can also aggravate asthma. It is important to be aware of the air quality in your area and avoid outdoor activities when air quality is poor. Additionally, individuals with asthma should avoid stress and cold air, as both can trigger an attack.

Asthmatics should be aware of potential triggers for their asthma symptoms and avoid them when possible. Common triggers include dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and certain fragrances. Asthmatics should also avoid extreme changes in temperature, cold air, and exercise in cold weather. It is important to avoid exposure to irritants in the home, such as chemical cleaning products, aerosols, and strong fragrances. In addition, stress and anxiety can bring on an asthma attack, so it is important to practice relaxation techniques and get enough sleep. Last but not least, make sure to follow your doctor’s advice and take your medication as prescribed.
