Q- What is asthma??
|
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory
condition affecting the respiratory system. It involves spasms of the
bronchial tubes, coughing, and excessive excretion of thick mucus in the
lungs. An attack can last for a few minutes or several hours and may be
caused by a number of triggers such as animals, plants, dust, pollutants,
food allergies, and exercise.
In general, asthma begins in
childhood and clears up or becomes less severe by the age of 21. However,
asthma can develop at any age and is most common among adults with allergies
or a genetic tendency towards a supersensitive immune system. People with
asthma have symptoms when the airways are narrowed, swollen, or filled with
mucus. Common symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, shortness of
breath, chest pain, difficulty speaking and loud, fast breathing.
Mild asthma episodes are generally
more common. However severe episodes occur and and require immediate medical
help. Emergency assistance should be called if the following symptoms are
seen: extreme difficulty breathing, paleness, severe panic, decreased level
of consciousness, and severe wheezing.

Asthma is a condition that
requires professional medical attention but the following are ways to help
reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks:
