Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps thin the mucus in your lungs, making it easier to cough up.
- Identify and Avoid Triggers: Keep track of what triggers your breathing issues (such as dust, pollen, pet dander, or strong perfumes) and try to minimise your exposure to them.
- Avoid Smoking and Secondhand Smoke: Tobacco smoke directly irritates your airways and can severely reduce the effectiveness of your lung medications.
- Maintain Clean Indoor Air: Use air purifiers and wash bedding regularly in hot water to reduce dust mites and other indoor allergens.
- Practice Controlled Breathing: Ask your healthcare provider about breathing exercises, like pursed-lip breathing, which can help strengthen your lungs and manage sudden breathlessness.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Asthma: Asthma is a chronic condition that causes the airways in the lungs to become inflamed and narrowed. This makes it harder to breathe and may lead to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic (long-term) condition caused by a group of lung diseases, such as emphysema (a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the tubes (bronchi) that carry air to and from the lungs). Symptoms include persistent wheezing, chest infections, chesty cough, and shortness of breath.
