Wear a medical bracelet or chain For Asthmatics

Medical bracelets and chains are a fantastic way of letting people know about your asthma should you be incapacitated by an attack.

You can buy a medical bracelet or chain from many of the large pharmacies, and also from a wide range of internet companies.

They are much like a locket in design and have a space inside for a length or paper on which you write your personal details, your condition and what people should do to help you in the case of an emergency. These special bracelets and chains can save your life, and are well worth the money they cost.

Alternatively you may wish to carry an Asthma Card which will also alert strangers to your condition and it will also inform paramedics and doctors what medications you are currently taking for your asthma.

The only drawback to an Asthma Card is that is has to be found on your person before it can be read, whereas a bracelet or chain is often in clear view. Asthma Cards are free, and can normally be found at your local hospital.
