Asthma in Elder people
Old people are more exposed to asthma attacks because of other health problems that are present in their organisms. Some medicines used by them for high blood pressure, glaucoma, or even the so popular aspirin can annihilate the effect of asthma medication and even cause episodes.
The doctor must be informed of all the medicine that they take and asked whether calcium and vitamin D supplements are necessary in order to prevent bone problems generated by steroids.
Treatment for asthma during pregnancy in women
During an asthma attack, the oxygen doesn't reach the organs, so the fetus doesn't receive enough oxygen, neither. So, the disease must be controlled.
The treatment for asthma was not proved to have side effects on pregnant women, and the risk of taking it is much smaller than that of an attack. A pregnant woman, or one that plans to have a baby should discuss her asthma with her doctor.
Asthma and physical activity
Physic exercises are very healthy, so your asthma shouldn't stop you from this activity. In case of risks involving asthma episodes, quick-relief inhalers are the best solution to maintain a normal life.
Correctly treated, asthma will allow you any kind of sport or soliciting activity.
