“I have asthma. Do you think respiratory therapy will help me?”
I have been suffering from asthma for the past 4 years. Do you think I can take respiratory therapy? Will it do anything to improve my condition?

Yes I do. Therapy will help to maintain good pulmonary hygiene
Yes, it would provide educational steps, which, along with your Dr.s management and prescribed medication, can lead you to easily identify the "triggers" that lead to your attacks. do your flare ups occure with strenuous activity? Do you typically find yourself in areas that are heavily filled with allergens, smoke or dust. If yes, I suggest avoiding those areas if at all possible. If you can't, wear a face mask which will help trap any particulate that may cause irritation to your airways..If your Dr. has prescribed you an inhaler, follow his instructions regarding proper use and frequency. You may try using your inhaler prior to doing the task, as this will open up the airways and make it easier to finish without to much difficulty.
