Asthma is a respiratory disease
in which the airways of the lungs may be obstructed because of the mucus that
may fill up your chest. As a result, a patient of bronchial asthma may suffer
from shortness of the breath. It is believed to be caused by the increased
resistance of the air in the respiratory tract of the body. This may not only
hamper the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2) but may also lead to the swelling up
of the bronchial walls, asthma attacks, spasms of
the bronchial asthma, regular coughing, etc. In order to get rid of
the mucus that may long be clogging your lungs, the coughs may be supported
with the secretion of mucus.
Such type of asthma is usually intrinsic and may occur because
of certain allergies in patients. Be it children or the adults, there are
certain allergies that later become the triggers of the asthma attack. This allergy may
not be the key symptom of asthma but just may be one important trigger that
makes you prone to the attacks. Some of these allergies that cause attacks of asthma
in children and adults include smoke, dust, mold, pollens and
dander.
So, what can be your asthma cure? There has to be something that has to provide
you relief every time you experience the symptoms of asthma. The cure depends
largely on what symptoms you experience. You have to tell the expert about the
symptoms you are experiencing and based on these symptoms, they'll prescribe
the medications or the treatment plan. The treatment plan prescribed to you may
completely be different from the treatment plan given to other patients.
The symptoms of bronchial asthma usually occur because
of the infections found in the respiratory tract of the lungs. These can be
because of the allergies to foods and drugs, smoke or the pollutants that may
be present in the air. Further excessive exercising or the cold air outside,
can also lead to allergies in asthma patients.
Some prominent symptoms of bronchial asthma include breathlessness, tightening of
thebronchial muscles, swelling up of the air passages causing troubled
breathing, etc. Swelling or the inflammation of the air passages may reduce the
amount of the air that reaches the lungs. This will further reduce the oxygen
flowing from the lungs to the other cells of the body. As a result of this,
patient may begin to get tired with small activities like dressing up, walking
few steps and climbing the stairs. Lastly, bronchial asthma may also
increase the production of the mucus that may then fill up your chest.
