Hello Salil,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:

1. Asthma is a disease with long-duration, but it is not possible to make prediction whether it will be life-long, particularly at your age. There are worse periods and disease-free periods, which are not predictable and depend on many factors like environment, diet, physiological changes, habits, etc.

It is always good to understand the disease, stay positive and seek expert opinions from different specialties so that you can manage yourself in the best possible way.

2. The inhaler you are using (Asthalin rotacaps) is used for rescue management. Whenever you have symptoms of wheezing or breathing difficulty, I would suggest you to use it on as-and-when-needed basis.

3. If you are not comfortable with the inhaler device, there are many inhaler devices available such as metered dose inhaler, metered dose inhaler with spacer, dry powdered inhaler, etc.

In my opinion, metered dose inhalers are the best and easy to use. Using them with spacer provides maximum drug delivery to lungs.

I apologize as I cannot provide you company name as per our terms and conditions.

4. I would suggest you to learn breathing exercises like Pranayama and also Yoga which may improve your lung capacity and will be beneficial for your asthma in a long run.

5. I would also suggest you to have a balanced nutrition rich in vitamins and minerals (that is, adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) which will help you in a long run.

6. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
