Exercising is one of the most enjoyable activities for many individuals throughout the world. However,Asthma attacks during exercise and how it can be quickly treated Articles this activity can be quite excruciating and dangerous if you are suffering from asthma. Asthma is a respiratory condition which actually inhibits the body from getting enough oxygen and as a result can cause may other health issues that are directly caused from not getting enough oxygen. What happens quite frequently is that the individual with asthma would start to exercise and at anytime without notice they begin to experience an asthma attack and almost feel as if they can not breathe. Currently there is no cure for asthma and the only alternative is to seek treatment. Physicians typically recommend the use of effective medication such as Albuterol with the use of a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a health device that is used to transform the Albuterol prescription into mist form whereby it can then be easily breathed in through the lungs. The benefit of it being in mist form is that it can be easily absorbed by the body and as such begin to work far more quickly at reducing the symptoms of this respiratory condition. As such, if you are exercising and then begin to feel that you are not getting enough oxygen to the point that you feel an attack coming you can stop and reach for your nebulizer device. Once you place your medicine in the device within minutes you will be ready to breathe in the medicine and seek relief. The most positive aspect of the device is the fact that it is completely portable and can be taken anywhere that the person desires to go. It is built to not only be small and portable but also sturdy whereby it can withstand the elements and drops that may occur when exercising. Years ago the device was not portable at all and the only place that you could actually find it was in either in the hospital or physician’s offices. However, due to technological advancements it is now made completely portable and has been such a great help to those with asthma who desire to exercise and keep in shape. The future of the product actually lies in its ability to work with different types of medicine. Also, it will continue to get smaller and smaller and more power efficient. Although there is no cure there does exist treatment for this very common respiratory condition that affects millions of individuals across the U.S.
