Cough Triggers A Headache

Exercise can help you cope with asthma

A: My son Andrew, who is 11 years old, suffers from asthma. As most of you know he is also a National ranked Track and Field Athlete running the 800M, 1500M, and 3000M. So far, it has been controllable and I know in Andrew's case he was diagnosed quite young and that he would/ could probably still outgrow it. We barely use the inhaler and running really has helped his asthma. He is taking a daily asthma medication and at the track meets he uses his inhaler before his runs to prevent an asthma attack while running at top speed. * severe coughing, wheezing shortness of breath or tightness in the chest, difficulty talking or concentrating, walking causes shortness of breath, breathing may be shallow and fast or slower than usual, hunched shoulders, nasal flaring, neck area and below ribs moves inward with breathing, gray or bluish tint to skin, beginning around mouth. One could be allergens. Allergens are the medical term for inhaled substances that cause an allergic reaction such as pollen, dust, mold, animal dander. Sometimes you need repeated exposure over a long period of time before you ever have any symptoms. Another trigger could be irritants. They are substances that do not cause an allergic reaction, but do irritate the airways causing asthma symptoms. Examples of irritants are smoke, chemical fumes, strong odors from paint or cooking, and air pollution. Working as a personal trainer I have come in contact with asthma patients numerous times. One of my clients was so severe that she was hospitalized at least once a month. After she continued her exercise program ( I as her trainer being in close contact with her doctor) her asthma attacks starting to be a lot less severe and were further apart. Before you exercise, or start exercising, talk to your doctor. Exercise could also be a trigger for an asthma attack! Your doctor will inform you about the do's and don'ts. With the proper medication, and a doctors prescription you CAN exercise with asthma.

Smoking triggers the urge to smoke more leading to addiction. It is our own actions and psychologies that make us reach for another cigarette in our pocket. If you are angry and frustrated you tend to smoke more, as you feel relaxed. On the contrary some people smoke more when they are excited about something. For most of the smokers it is mandatory to smoke before they get out of their beds and after they finish their meals. Every individual has his own conditions for smoking. Once you fall into the trap it gets difficult to find a way out. It’s a maze wherein you curb your urge at one end but fail to do so at other and the fight to quit smoking starts all over again.
