However, many experts say patients should take a broader view of their health and consider lifestyle factors that can impact their breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a whole-body approach to lung health is not just about quality of life. It can also be a matter of life and death, says Purvi Parikh, MD, board-certified allergist with Allergy and Asthma Associates of Murray Hill in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe see 10 deaths a day in this country alone from asthma,\u201d she says. \u201cMany people think it\u2019s a benign disease, but it can be very dangerous if not controlled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should always consult with your doctor about specific symptoms and medications, you should also evaluate your lifestyle \u2013 sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management and environmental factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese things are all connected. They are not isolated,\u201d Dr. Parikh says. \u201cYour lungs work with every organ in your body, so if something else is not working right, it will affect your lungs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image243783_b0da3f-c7 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image243783_b0da3f-c7 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Family-at-beach-during-sunset-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"A family of four walks along a sandy beach at sunset.

People who do not get enough sleep on a regular basis will struggle to control their immune system, which plays a huge role in lung health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you don\u2019t sleep enough, you are more likely to have uncontrolled asthma or allergies, and you are also more likely to catch infections or viruses that can affect your lungs,\u201d Dr. Parikh, board-certified allergist with Allergy &amp; Asthma Associates of Murray Hill in New York City, says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adults should aim for eight hours of sleep a night, with more recommended for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you snore heavily, wake up a lot at night or wake up still feeling tired, consider seeing a specialist to be tested for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health-topics\/sleep-apnea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>sleep apnea<\/strong><\/a>, a disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don Bukstein, MD, a board-certified allergist who practices with Allergy, Asthma &amp; Sinus Center in Greenfield, Wisconsin, suggests several steps to create a healthy sleeping environment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid exposure to the blue light emitted by cellphones, laptops and tablets<\/strong> for 1-2 hours before going to bed. This light suppresses melatonin production, an important trigger to the brain that it\u2019s time for rest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid alcohol or caffeine near bedtime.<\/strong> Both can disrupt sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stick to a routine bedtime<\/strong>&nbsp;so your body gets used to a schedule.
