Question: How can you prevent asthma attacks if you are allergic to everything!?
The allergist says I am allergic to "everything"!. I have attacks often and just deal with them!. Is there anything else I can do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
If you wear a face mask it can help but it is not usually something people want to walk around with!. There is research out there saying that going to the chiropractor often can greatly reduce the incidence of asthma attacks but they can be expensive!. Other than that you'll have to make sure all the air filters in your home are cleaned out, replace the carpet with hardwood/linoleum floors, and keep a air filter running!. I would also talk to your allergist about what exactly you are allergic to because then you can try your best to avoid it!. You can't possibly avoid "everything" but you can cut down pine trees, kick out the family cat, and avoid down pillows!. You may also want to invest in some allergen reducing cleaners for your house!. There are a lot out there that I use (since my fiance also has asthma) to wipe down the walls periodically!. It seems to really help him!. If you keep a clean home you can greatly improve!. His major trigger is cats and I work at an animal shelter so I take precautions such as changing immediately after walking in the door and placing my clothes in the washer!. He's never had an attack while inside our home!. I would assume that you are using both a rescue inhaler and something like singular or advair but if you aren't then you really should!. I think in some cases you can use both advair and singular with a rescue inhaler!. And if your symptoms are completely out of control at the moment you should go to your PCP and ask if prednizone is right for you!. This steriod can help get you back to "square one" and will make it much easier to control symptoms that have snowballed!.

Avoid your triggers!.
As an asthmatic, asthma stops me doing most things I would like to do!. I also have allergies to cats, grass pollen, hay fever, some dust mites and am waiting for other pending results!. I also have a milk intolerance/allergy- am not sure which yet as the symptoms present after dairy consumption are similar to those experienced by those allergic to dairy and those intolerant to it!. I also suffer from sinusitis and rhinitis, and wasp/bee anaphylaxis (severe allergy)!.
In my case I have to avoid perfumes, cats (its hard living with one!), grass pollen (unavoidable) and obviously avoidance of dairy, which is hard when I go out with mates!.
All that you can do is always carry your inhalers with you (whichever they are) and take all daily medication!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know your pain!.!.I get this 2!.!.this is what I do!.!.
Keep the home as dust free as possible!.!.no pets
Use washing liquid rather than powder
Use unscented deodorant, and shower gel
Avoid perfumes, aftershaves, bug spray and furniture polish
I have to take anti-histamines a lot!.!.this helps when coming into contact with other people with strong smelling perfumes - like say - when going to the cinema - benadryl works well
I have an allergy to nuts also, so its hard to go out for food!.
