Do you know if you have asthma? Do you know if you have an intolerance? TMI Testing can help you to identify your food intolerances, but do you know what to do if you are suffering from asthma? One of the best tricks around for analyzing your symptoms of asthma is to look at the three zones of asthma symptoms. There are so many signs that you may have an allergy, but let us start with green zones…
In all cases of serious symptoms like shortness of breath and tiredness, you should immediately consult a doctor or call 999.
When you should feel comfortable?
Well, being able to breathe is a good sign (obviously) but this shouldn’t be taken as a joke. If you are not wheezing, coughing or spluttering, then you probably do not have asthma! Or you are not presenting symptoms of asthma at this time, which is important… Some people who are struggling with allergies have a shortness of breath during the day and night. This can be alarming, but it is actually manageable. The weather should not have an impact on your symptoms, but it is always important to prepare.
In order to manage your symptoms of allergies, you need to take long-term control medicine daily. You should consult your GP if you suspect that you have asthma, similar to have your allergy test has identified an allergy. You may need quick-relief medicine before you exercise. Obviously, if you are struggling, you need to know what is causing your coughing and wheezing. It means, if you are suffering from an illness, your plan is working!
