Your
Second Doctor
Your meds can help ease the symptoms of a sudden attack, but sometimes they wont be enough, and you'll need to call your doctor to get help. A key part of your action plan for dealing with emergencies is knowing when you can take care of your symptoms on your own and when you should seek medical help. Having a plan also can help reduce the severity and impact of sudden attacks.
You and your doctor should discuss which symptoms you should watch out for and what you can do to ease your symptoms until you can get in to see your doctor or until you receive emergency help.Knowing your warning signs. Listening to and understanding what your body tells you is critical component of any emergency action plan. The good news about these sudden attacks is that, even though different patients have different warning signs, your individual warning signs likely will be the same from one attack to another and are easily recognised.
Breathlessness is the most common early warning sign, but there are others...
* Tightness in the chest
* increased coughing
* More sputum
* Fever
When you know the warning signs your body gives you, you can use your meds- bronchodilators and ibnhaled steroids.. to treat your symptoms immediately. This is important because immediate self-treatment can prevent a sudden attack from getting worse, maybe even saving you a trip to the hospital.
Sudden attacks can come at any time and in any place. Always carry your rescue inhalers with you when you leave home, and keep them in a handy place when at home.
Use only your rescue medications when you have an exacerbation. Your maintenance meds will not relieve sudden, acute symptoms.
Talk with your doctor about how to use your meds in a sudden attack. If you have trouble remembering instructions, ask your doctor to write them down for you in terms you'll understand. Having an action plan in advance will help you deal more easily with a crisis when it comes.
If you notice a change in the amount of mucus you're coughing up , or if your mucus has a different color, call your doctor.
Always ask your Doctor what signs you should watch for and when he wants you to call the office...
