Drinking a good strong cup of coffee is probably one of the best and easiest ways to ward off an asthma attack when you feel one coming on. Having used inhalers and taken theodur for years, I once read in a Women’s magazine about prescription drugs, and found that the drug theodur used for asthmatics is EXTREMELY high in caffeine. Caffeine is a natural bronchio-dialator…..so sip a cup of Java at Tim Hortons or Starbucks, or at your own kitchen table!
You should begin by determining what cause your asthma attacks. If it is allergies you can take allergy medications and limit your exposure to allergens.
Asthma attacks are brought on by different triggers. It could be pollen, perfume, dust etc. I highly recomend getting a hepa filter for your home to help cut down on your exposure to things in your home that could be triggering this.. It has really helped cut down our respiratory problems. The Advair has two great drugs. The first is the 100, 250, or 500 and is steroid. The second number 50 is a LONG term bronchodialator. The key for Advair is to take it religously or it wont help. Good Luck from a friendly Respiratory Therapist!
Talk to your doctor about some blockers such as Clarinex and Singulair, they work wonders. Stay on your Advair and use it twice a day. A good meds cocktail can really make things better.
Good luck
