What Is Respiratory Distress?
10. Preventing Respiratory Distress
Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that you won’t develop respiratory distress, but there are things you can do to lower your chances. If you have an underlying medical condition, follow the advice of your doctor and take your medications as prescribed. Contact your provider if you notice any symptoms or changes in your condition.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle will also help. Limit your exposure to airborne pollutants and irritants whenever possible, and use appropriate filtration devices when you can’t avoid exposure. Make exercise a regular part of your routine to strengthen muscles and improve lung function and avoid high-risk behaviors like smoking whenever possible.
