    To prevent Asthma attack Don't be panic be calm.Sit at a place and try to take your medications.Sitting up can not only relieve symptoms of an asthma attack, and also make administering medication much easier. also take your inhaler.To use an inhaler, you should give the patient 2-4 puffs and wait at least five minutes before giving any more. It is vital that all the medication inhaled makes it to the lungs for it to be most effective..And finally make sure you closely monitor the person having an asthma attack and determine whether or not you should call for further help.Often it takes the inhaler medication up to 10 minutes to work, so if things have not improved in 10 minutes, you should call the doctor for immediate help.Continue to give the patient puffs from the inhaler, even if it does not seem to be working.This will help to cure Asthma attack,until there is some other medical intervention.It may not stop the asthma attack from happening, but it can help it from becoming worse and your help will comfort them and quicken the process of asthma control.Also Eat more fish, nuts, seeds and flaxseed oil. They contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids that have been proven to reduce swelling in the lungs of asthma patients. Salmon and tuna, in particular, are loaded with these fatty acids.will help in controlling Asthma.

    There are many ways for a person to prevent asthma attacks.
    * Avoid locations that have poor air quality. Asthma sufferers should try being in fresh air as much as possible
    * Avoid exercising to extremes as this causes significant strain on the lungs. Asthma sufferers should be wary of this in order to not further worsen their health.
    * Efforts should be made to avoid any known causes of allergies, as allergies can cause reactions that affect the respiratory system
    * Asthma sufferers should maintain a strong diet, with attention to taking additional vitamins and supplements to restore health in the body
    * For those who have been prescribed medication, this must be taken without excuse, as it is specifically designed to help your body repair itself
