Help during a bronchial asthma attack

Bronchial asthma is a disease of the respiratory tract. During an asthma attack, choking attacks occur periodically. Bronchial asthma can be caused by pneumonia, bronchitis, as well as other respiratory diseases. Asthma is caused by allergens to which the body of a sick person is sensitive.

An attack of bronchial asthma manifests itself in a spasm of small bronchi and causes the formation of thick mucus. An attack usually begins suddenly, but a person suffering from this disease can already feel the approach of an attack in advance.

During an asthma attack, the patient's breathing is disturbed due to difficulty exhaling. At this time, the patient's chest takes the form of a deep breath. During breathing, wheezing and whistling become audible.

To help the patient, it is necessary to open a window in the room, letting fresh air into the room. It is necessary to unbutton the upper buttons on the shirt and ease the amplitude of the chest movement.

A person suffering from this disease always has special inhalers with him. Help him use it. You can also give the patient an antihistamine (suprastin or zirtek).

After the first attacks, it is necessary to put the person facing the back of the chair, and the patient's hands should be placed on the back of this chair. Next, the chair should be slightly tilted away from the patient so that the weight of his body passes to his hands. This will greatly facilitate the attack of bronchial asthma. A good helper is also hot baths, which must be done for the hands and feet of the patient. Warm water of about 40-45 degrees is used for this. Put the patient's hands and feet in such water for 10 minutes. Taking such a bath will help to get rid of the attack pretty quickly.

There is another effective way to deal with an asthma attack, but this method is quite complicated. In Chinese medicine, there is a massage of special points on the patient's body. For bronchial asthma, the "he-gu" point should be massaged, which becomes visible if you press your thumb to the palm. The resulting bump is this point. You can simultaneously massage this point on both hands of the patient by squeezing his hands.

In traditional Russian medicine, onion compresses were used to relieve bronchial asthma attacks. Onions were grated on a fine grater. The resulting gruel was applied between the shoulder blades of the patient. The onion compress was covered with paper, and the patient himself was wrapped in a woolen shawl.

A mild asthma attack is relieved with the following medications: isadrin, theophedrine, euphyllin, ephedrine. In this case, half a tablet is often enough, but be sure to read the instructions for use.

A person suffering from bronchial asthma should adhere to a protein-vegetable diet. It is not recommended to eat salt and dairy products.

Sports are very useful for the patient. Gymnastics is best done while in the fresh air. Scandinavian walking, which is very popular in European countries, is ideal for asthma patients. The patient should include cycling in his daily routine, as well as other active recreation.
