Lifestyle changes
Lifestyle changes [14] alone cannot treat severe asthma, but they can improve your condition if you use them along with asthma treatments.
The most important lifestyle change you can make is to avoid things and situations that trigger your asthma attack. Avoid allergens and chemical irritants, particularly those with pungent smells.
If you smoke, you should quit. You should also avoid inhaling secondhand smoke as this can be just as bad as smoking for you.
Losing weight if you are obese may also help improve your severe asthma. If you decide to lose weight, do it by healthy means. Weight loss is often slow and gradual, you should not try to hasten it.
Conclusion
Severe asthmas are relatively uncommon but they can be quite hard to deal with. If your asthma does not respond well to standard medication, you should speak with your doctor. Your doctor will come up with a new treatment plan for you that helps put your symptoms under control.
