If you suffer from asthma, chances are you may have to make some changes in your life to reduce your exposure to certain triggers. However, according to a recent article published in New York Daily News, one 22-year-old student's symptoms were so bad that she had to drop out of college.
The source explains that Kirsty Ashman, who lives in the United Kingdom, went to college to pursue an English degree, only to find that spending time in the library caused her to suffer severe asthma attacks. During the two years that she attended the school, Ashman reportedly endured more than 15 "life-threatening asthma attacks brought on by various dust, grass, pollens, animals and mold." She ultimately had to drop out when she found that even living at home and commuting to school didn't make a difference.
"I was desperate to get a degree and finish my studies, but I had to put my health first," Ashman told New York Daily News. "My allergies grew so bad that I lived in fear of libraries and common rooms, as even a small inhalation of dust could bring on an asthma attack which would completely shut down my airways."
Ashman eventually resumed her studies from the safety of her home, but was forced to change her major since she has such a hard time being around books.
If you suffer from asthma and you're looking for a simple way to gain some relief, consider purchasing some allergy products — like allergenic bedding and an allergen air purifier — from Allergy Be Gone.
