Will a top quality air purifier such as the IQAir HealthPro Plus help with Asthma Attacks?

Shortness of breath, dizziness, wheezing and coughing is all symptoms of an asthma attack can be very frightening. They can also be scary for the members of the family who are watching the asthma sufferer experiencing the attack. Asthma is a common respiratory condition in adults and children that is diagnosed by your doctor. When an asthma attack happens to a sufferer, the airways to the lungs become narrowed and inflamed. This inflammation of the airways is what causes the shortness of breath and can even cause excess mucous to be produced in the airways, making the attack more serious. There are triggers for an asthma attack which include both particles such as pollen, mold, pollution and dust, as well as chemicals such as paint fumes and tobacco smoke. These asthma triggers can be captured and contained is this special medical device. Since most lung irritants in indoor air can cause an asthma sufferer to experience a bad attack, it is therefore shown that clean and fresh indoor air is very important for homes with family members who suffer from asthma. It is important to remove any sources of indoor pollutants from your home which you know are causing symptoms. It is important for a homeowner to purchase the required number of air purifiers for the home that are effective at eliminating not only dust, mold, bacteria, viruses but also odors and fumes from the air.

The American Lung Association says these factors trigger asthma and allergy symptoms in many people:

Anything with powerful fumes, such as hair spray, paint or perfume.
Cold air.
Smoke from cigarettes, pipes, cigars or fireplaces.
Pollen, mold or dust mites.
Animal dander.
Air pollution.

Avoid your triggers

Taking steps to reduce your exposure to things that trigger asthma symptoms is a key part of asthma control. Here are some things that may help:

Use your air conditioner. Air conditioning helps reduce the amount of airborne pollen from trees, grasses and weeds that finds its way indoors. Air conditioning also lowers indoor humidity and can reduce your exposure to dust mites. If you don't have air conditioning, try to keep your windows closed during pollen season.
Decontaminate your decor. Minimize dust that may aggravate nighttime symptoms by replacing certain items in your bedroom. For example, encase pillows, mattresses and box springs in dust-proof covers. Remove carpeting and install hardwood or linoleum flooring. Use washable curtains and blinds.
Maintain optimal humidity. Keep humidity low in your home and office. If you live in a damp climate, talk to your doctor about using a dehumidifier.
Keep indoor air clean. Have a utility company check your air conditioner and furnace once a year. Change the filters in your furnace and air conditioner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also consider installing a small-particle filter in your ventilation system. If you use a humidifier, change the water daily.
Reduce pet dander. If you're allergic to dander, avoid pets with fur or feathers. Having pets regularly bathed or groomed also may reduce the amount of dander in your surroundings.
Clean regularly. Clean your home at least once a week. If you're likely to stir up dust, wear a mask or have someone else do the cleaning.
If it's cold out, cover your face. If your asthma is worsened by cold, dry air, wearing a face mask can help.
