Today, we’re talking about asthma.

今天我们要谈论的是哮喘。

Asthma is when air can’t get into your lungs and you have trouble breathing.

因空气无法到达肺部，造成呼吸困难。

When you have an asthma attack, you have trouble catching your breath.

若发生哮喘，你会感到呼吸困难。

There are a lot of asthma “triggers” that can cause an asthma attack.

哮喘病发作有许多诱因。

People may not have the same triggers.

诱因因人而异。

Asthma Triggers

Some common asthma triggers include tobacco smoke, dirty air outside, cockroach droppings, pets, mold, and hard exercise that makes you breathe really fast.

普遍因素包括烟草、空气污浊、蟑螂屎、宠物、霉菌以及一些造成呼吸加快的高难度动作。

If you have asthma, it’s really important to know what your triggers are. Your parents and doctor can help you figure them out.

你如果患有哮喘，了解诱发因素至关重要。家长和医生可以帮助你。

Not everyone who has asthma takes the same medicine. Some people use inhalers to breathe in the asthma medicine and some take pills. Some have to use both.

服药同样因人而异。有人使用雾化吸入器，有人服用药物。还有人两者兼用。

A lot of people have to use an inhaler right away when they have an asthma attack to help them breathe.

若突发哮喘，许多人会使用吸入器，此举可快速缓解呼吸困难。

If you have asthma, always remember to follow your doctor’s orders.

若患有哮喘，请自己遵循医嘱。

If you’ve been running or playing hard and feel out of breath, stop and take a break.

若跑步或运动过量，感到呼吸困难，请停下休息。

Know the warning signs of an asthma attack, wheezing and coughing, breathing too hard and too fast, or feeling tightness in your chest.

了解哮喘的警告信号，气喘咳嗽，呼吸困难或呼吸加快，胸腔发紧。

And when you leave the house, always take your inhaler with you, if you use one for asthma attacks.

吸入器需随身携带，以防哮喘突发。
