Asthma
Treatment and support
One type of support for asthma is a pulmonary rehabilitation programme. This programme is
made up of exercise classes with people that have long term lung condition. It can help improve
your muscle strength and helps you to improve your fitness, so you feel more confident to
everyday task. It provides information and advice of how to look after your body and manage
your lung condition. It provides techniques to manage your breathlessness. This helps you to be
able to breathe more efficiently and can make you become less breathless. This programme is
normally held in local hospitals. (NHS England) For example, you can go and do it in the Royal
Hallamshire Hospital at Glossop Rd, Broomhall,Sheffield S10 2JF
An example of a complimentary therapy for asthmatic patients is breathing therapy. This
teaches you how to breathe slowly through your nose, using your diaphragm (the muscle under
your ribs). This treatment could help prevent hyperventilation during an asthma attack. It
reduces levels of stress hormones in the blood and increases the feelings of relaxation. This
could also help lower your blood pressure and heart rate. (NHS) You could do this type of
complimentary therapy at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital Respiratory Medicine at B Rd,
Broomhall, Sheffield S10 2JF
An example of a lifestyle treatment for asthmatic patients is receiving advice on avoiding smoking. This
guidance helps individuals understand the negative impact smoking has on their respiratory system. Not
smoking can significantly reduce asthma symptoms which may lead to a decreased need for medication
over time. (Healthline, 2023) It also improves overall lung function, making breathing easier and
reducing the frequency of asthma attacks. This kind of lifestyle advice could be provided by respiratory
specialists at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital Respiratory Medicine at B Rd, Broomhall, Sheffield S10 2JF.

Asthmatic patients can receive care from different types of carers, including professional, private, and
voluntary carers, each playing a vital role in supporting individuals with asthma. Professional carers,
such as doctors, nurses, and respiratory specialists, are highly trained and work in hospitals, GPs, and
other healthcare facilities. They diagnose asthma, prescribe medications such as inhalers and provide
treatments to help manage symptoms. These formal carers monitor the patient’s condition and adjust
