Respiratory Health

Respiratory health is vital for ensuring your body receives the oxygen it needs to function correctly. Conditions affecting the airways—such as asthma, COPD, and seasonal allergies—can cause significant distress and impact your ability to lead an active life.

Common Respiratory Conditions

• Asthma: Inflammation of the small tubes in the lungs, causing wheezing and breathlessness.
• COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A group of lung conditions that cause long-term breathing difficulties.
• Allergic Rhinitis: Inflammation of the nose caused by an overreaction to allergens like pollen or dust.
• Chest Infections: Bacterial infections that may require antibiotics like Amoxicillin.

Treatment Strategies

• Reliever Inhalers: Provide immediate relief during a flare-up (e.g., Salbutamol / Ventolin).
• Preventer Inhalers: Used daily to reduce long-term inflammation and prevent symptoms.
• Oral Medications: Such as Montelukast for asthma or antibiotics for bacterial infections.
• Nasal Sprays: Clinical-strength steroids to manage allergic inflammation in the nose.

Tips for Breathable Health

• Identify and avoid personal triggers (e.g., cigarette smoke, pollution, or specific allergens).
• Ensure perfect inhaler technique; consult a professional if you are unsure.
• Get your annual flu vaccine and monitor your peak flow if advised by your doctor.
• Stay active with manageable exercise to improve lung capacity.
