Lifestyle Tips to Help You Cope With Asthma

Chronic illnesses require lifelong management, and your medical records play an important role in wellness. With DrOwl, asthma patients can easily access medical records, medication information, and physician instructions. Our app also takes confusing clinical terms and translates them into language you can understand.

When diagnosing asthma, medical providers use a combination of health questions, physical exams, and lung function tests. After a diagnosis, your doctor will prescribe medications and recommend the lifestyle changes below to help manage the condition.

Look for Ways to Improve Air Quality

Poor air quality at home can trigger asthma symptoms. To improve respiratory health, eliminate dust, avoid cigarette smoke, and use air filters in all HVAC devices.  

Implement an Anti-Inflammatory Diet 

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory illness, and certain foods are believed to reduce inflammation all over the body. In this case, eating more citrus (vitamin C), olive oil (polyphenols), and salmon (omega-3 fatty acids) may help you manage symptoms.

Develop an Exercise Regimen (and Stick With It)

Physical activity may sometimes worsen asthma, but it’s beneficial when the condition is well controlled with inhalers and other medications. Moderate exercise is important for your general health, but it can also make your airways stronger.

Track Your Medical Records With DrOwl

For people with asthma, managing their condition involves a combination of medical care and lifestyle changes. DrOwl lets patients organize important medical records, which can be conveniently accessed on a mobile device when you have questions.

Our app offers another vital feature. Using a special AI tool trained on medical terminology, DrOwl explains complex lab tests and other records in a way patients can fully comprehend.
