  Are you stressed about asthma and how it's ruining your life? You are like many others. A lot of folks are curious to learn more about asthma, yet they are hindered by not knowing where to look. Read the article below for lots of asthma information.
  
  Know how to properly use asthma medicine, especially your rescue medication. Typically, asthma is treated using normal medications along with rescue medication, like an inhaler, for emergency situations. Because you will have asthma for the rest of your life, it is important that you take your maintenance medication properly, and that you use your emergency medication correctly.
  
  If you have asthma, avoid people who smoke. Inhaled smoke from tobacco can drastically reduce lung function, increasing your chances of an asthma attack. This is especially true in closed-in areas.
  
  Replace your bed pillows as often as possible. Look for bed and bath linens that are 100 percent cotton to help reduce the instance of dust mites in your environment. Cotton is less attractive to mites than other fabric choices. Dust mites are usually the main culprit that aggravates or causes an asthma attack.
  
  If allergy symptoms cause you to have moderate to severe asthma attacks, there is a medication available that can help for extended periods of time. One antibody medication available is called Omalizumab and can be prescribed by your doctor or allergist.
  
  If you are an asthma patient, you may want to sleep with a pillow that does not contain feathers. Feathers can have a negative effect on the lungs and can worsen asthma symptoms. The same goes for bedding - try to buy a comforter and sheets that are made from hypoallergenic materials.
  
  Instead of sweeping your floors, clean them with a damp mop. When you sweep, you are stirring up asthma triggers that can cause you to have an asthma attack. Use a dampened rag when dusting, instead of a feather duster, so as to prevent stirring up loose dust particles and other asthma triggers.
  
  Do not use a vaporizer or humidifier unless you are sure it's been thoroughly cleaned. Bacteria can build up in the moisture of these machines, and get relayed into the very environment that you are attempting to make more conducive to your condition.
  
  Refrain from smoking. There is a general awareness that smoking is not good for your health. But for the asthmatic, smoking can quickly have serious consequences. Your lungs could become very irritated if you smoke, and you should avoid being around others that are smoking.
  
  Your asthma should not ever be downplayed or taken lightly. Take every precaution you can to keep your asthma in control, because asthma attacks can actually be lethal. For example, always carry a rescue inhaler and reduce the airborne allergens and dust in your home. Follow the tips you've gleaned from this article, and you should be better equipped to control your asthma.
