What should asthma patients pay attention to when traveling?

First, understand the climate of the destination.

Asthma patients must know their destination before going out, because environmental factors may induce asthma. If people who are allergic to pollen choose to bloom in spring, they must be especially careful that pollen is easy to cause asthma; If you go to a cold place, you should keep warm to avoid inhaling cold air and causing asthma attacks.

Second, pay attention to oxygen content and moisturizing.

Asthmatics are most afraid of flying. When a large passenger plane flies at high altitude, the oxygen content in the air will drop from 2 1% at sea level to only 15%. People with poor lung function are really prone to hypoxia or difficulty breathing. Also, another problem that must be faced in the cabin is that the humidity will drop. Some people who are particularly sensitive to dry air should remember to drink plenty of water, wear masks and keep moist and warm.

Whether asthma patients are suitable for flying depends on their own asthma control, especially their tolerance to exercise. The simplest self-assessment is that if you can't walk 50 meters or walk for a few minutes smoothly, it means that asthma control is still in an unstable state, and it is best to stay at home.
