High anxiety levels ...

.. can lead to full blown anxiety attacks, also known as panic attacks. We all know that the attacks should be treated by reducing anxiety, but why do we have to do this?

Reducing anxiety levels ultimately results in lesser attacks in the future. This is the best reason for reducing it. How then can we reduce anxiety?

The first step is by formulating a plan for reducing anxiety levels. Identify the highest contributors to anxiety. This may take some time. Sometimes, we may even be surprised that what we consider as simple stuff may be a major contributor to our stress levels. After finishing the list, suggest ways and solutions for every problem you have listed.

Your list may include excessive arguments and inefficient work habits. A solution for excessive arguments would be simply to avoid them. Inefficient work habits may be solved by striving for excellence in your job. This usually takes the pressure and anxiety off it. Reduce your watching of depressing or negative world events. Watch funny shows. Be helpful to everyone you meet. There are a lot of other ways to reduce anxiety. Be creative and work on those ideas.

Health also contributes to anxiety. Our diet also affects our anxiety levels. Caffeine can increase our anxiety. Beverages such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks contain caffeine.

Alcohol intake and smoking may alleviate anxiety symptoms transiently. Yet the end result of such habits is an increase of anxiety levels as soon as their temporary effect is lost. Regular exercise also reduces anxiety. Be sure to also eat balanced meals, and you are set for a major reduction on anxiety levels.

Foods Helpful in Asthma.

Some foods can help to control the severity of an attack. One of the best-known foods for doing this is coffee, due to the caffeine. Some Foods can actually dilate air passageways, by thinning the mucus and opening them up for freer breathing. The foods in this category include the spicy, pungent foods like chili, hot mustard, garlic and onions. These hot foods work by stimulating nerves, resulting in the release of watery fluid in the mouth, throat and lungs. Some foods can control inflammation of the airways because of their anti-inflammatory components. Foods that help to do this include onions, fatty fish (fish oil is a proven anti-inflammatory high in omega 3 fatty acids) and vitamin C-packed foods.

Manage Your Asthma Attack Treatment.

It is important that you control your asthma, rather than allowing it to control you. Of course, it can be irksome to take madication and to think daily about activities and situations that could trigger an attack, but you must always be aware that uncontrolled asthma is dangerous. It would be wonderful if everything to which you were allergic disappeared overnight, but even if you scrubbed your home from top to bottom and banned animals, you would still be surrounded by allergens. Once you have been diagnosed as having asthma, it is up to you to take responsibility for it. The best way to do this is to be alert to your symptoms and to check your peak expiratory flow (PEF) with a meter.

Bronchitis antibiotics

Sometimes doctors suggest bronchitis antibiotics when they aren't necessary. There are some current studies that antibiotic treatment doesn't help a whole lot, especially when the infection isn't bacterial. According to some of these studies, around 70-80% of patients diagnosed with bronchitis were prescribed antibiotics regardless of how the bronchitis started. The reason why physicians prescribe antibiotics is because they can't determine a better medication for your bronchitis. The reason this happens is because the cause isn't determined, even though most bronchitis sufferers have this condition due to other reasons than bacteria, such as viruses. When the cause appears to be bacterial, that is when bronchitis antibiotics should be administered. It is estimated that one in twenty Americans get bronchitis and is usually prescribed antibiotics.
