I have a problem which i would like to express it to you.iIam suffering from asthma and headaches daily,also even if i sleep ten hours a day if feel very tired but not fresh.For asthma i take inhalers and for headaches i take medicine but there is no relief for me.So suggest me some tips to keep in control of asthma,headaches and tiredness or to permanently have a cure out of these problems
Hello, Asthma results in poor ventilation resulting in decreased oxygenation to the whole body and this is perhaps the cause of your headaches. Anyway, you should also exclude other reasons for your headaches like sinus problems, refractive errors etc. It is because of the asthma that you feel tired even after rest. Since you stay in a cool place at high altitude where the atmospheric oxygen concentration is lower, you can use a nebulizer for better relief. Also, steroid inhalers are needed to prevent attacks as they reduce the need for bronchodilators which usually have unpleasant side effects. Permanent cure for asthma is not possible, but you can keep the symptoms at bay by avoiding triggering factors and taking anti-histamines whenever needed. You can try yoga and Panama when there are no attacks. Please consult a pulmonologist for further advice. Good luck.
