喘息の調子がよくなくて、咳が出るし、寝るときにゼイゼイして眠りにくい日もある。
今日病院に行って相談したら、吸入の仕方がよくないとのこと。
正しい吸入をして様子を見ましょうということになりました。
また今の季節は喘息患者の半数が発作を起こすそうで、寒暖差やダニの死骸、また台風の影響も受けることが多いので、自分がどういうときに悪くなるかよく知って、事前に休息をとるとか無理しないとかしないと、悪くなってからではなかなか治らないからという指導でした。
今日知ったのですが、花粉がきっかけで喘息発作を起こす人はいるにはいるけど、意外と少ないそうですね。
難しいのは、私の場合は鼻も悪いので、花粉の季節はそっちに注意、春秋は寒暖差に注意、秋は台風にも注意、ダニも注意、冬は寒さに注意…とやっていくと真夏以外一年中なのですよ。
いや、確かに前から真夏以外はだめだなとは思ってたけど。
アレルギーが強いので仕方ないのですよね。
今日はいつも行ってる呼吸器科病院の副院長で、ずっと診てもらっている院長の息子さんなんです。
院長は名医ですが、副院長さんもすばらしい。
持病持ちには本当にありがたい。
私は生まれつき右目が極度の乱視で、遠近感がない。
生まれつきはこれだけだと小さい頃思ってたけど、アレルギーも生まれつきだと言われており、結構タフなのかもしれません。
でもあまりそう思ったことはなく、目がよかったら、アレルギー体質じゃなかったら、と考えることはほぼなく(もちろんそうなったら快適なんだけど)、私の一部だと思うのです。
前向きに捉えられるように育ててくれた家族に感謝です。
I have been struggling with asthma lately.
I’ve had a persistent cough and sometimes difficulties falling asleep due to asthma attacks.
I visited the doctor and he pointed out my inhalation technique needed improvement.
He explained that adjusting my breathing might alleviate my symptoms.
He also mentioned that certain triggers can provoke asthma attacks and advised me to identify my specific triggers and rest accordingly.
The common triggers in Autumn include significant temperature changes, an increase in dust mites and typhoons.
This explains why about half of asthma patients experience attacks in this season.
To my surprise, I learned that pollen is not a major cause of asthma attacks
However, since I also suffer from sinusitis, I need to take care of my health year-round, except during the middle of summer.
I had been aware of this for many years, though without fully understanding the reasons.
Managing multiple allergies can be challenging.
Today’s doctor is the son of my long-term pulmonologist, who is highly regarded.
I realized today that the son is also an excellent doctor.
Although my condition might last a lifetime, I am fortunate to have them taking care of me.
I have a naturally weak right eye due to astigmatism, which affects my depth perception.
When I was younger, I thought my only congenital cocondition was related to my eyesight but as I grew older, I realized my allergies were also something I was born with.
These conditions can sometimes be challenging for me.
However, I don't dwell on the idea of how things might be different if my eyesight were perfect or if I didn't have any allergies.
These are simply parts of who I am.
I am grateful to my family for raising me to embrace my challenges with a positive attitude.
