Asthma is a disease of the lungs that is that is characterized by tightening of the air
pathways. Common symptoms of asthma are wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing,
chest pain, tightness or pressure. Many of these conditions are reversible with
medication but not 100% reversible in all patients. Some common features of asthma
are inflammation, airway obstruction and airway sensitivity. Some risk factors for
asthma are a family history of asthma, regular lung infections, presence of allergies,
exposure of tobacco smoke, low birth weight, and being male.
The current rise in asthma cases among children is alarming. Asthma may occur at any
age but is very common in children. Approximately 10% of children have asthma and
that rate may rise in the future. Experts don't agree why the rate is increasing but here
are some ideas:
Children are being exposed to more triggers (things that bring on asthma attacks; dust,
tobacco smoke, pollution)
Children don't have strong immune systems (they aren't exposed to many childhood
diseases.)
Decreases in the rates of breast feeding may also play a role.
Asthma is a disease that causes many problems for the patient. However, it can be
controlled. With the right information and medical attention medical professionals can
prevent many deaths. Be careful with this disease and if you notice any symptoms, go
to the doctor as soon as possible.

Asthma is a disease of the lungs that causes wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and
difficulty breathing. It can be very scary for the patient. Luckily, asthma and its effects
are reversible with medication. There are a few options for asthma treatment:
Breathing machines (or nebulizers) are machines that turn liquid medication into mist. A
mask is used and treatment takes about 1015 minutes and is given several times per
day.
Inhalers are common for older patients and medication is breathed in using a spacer. Syrups and other oral medications are available, but aren't useful for asthma attacks
because their effects take time.
Asthma attacks are the periods when symptoms suddenly become worse. Some
common triggers for these attacks are exercise, infections, dust, tobacco smoke,
allergens, cold air and nervousness. Limiting exposure to these triggers may help
improve quality of life. When an asthma attack occurs, take your medication according
to your asthma action plan, wait 10 to 15 minutes if symptoms worsen or don't improve
immediate medical attention may be necessary. Some danger signs are severe
wheezing or coughing, trouble walking, and blue lips or fingernails. If any of these
danger symptoms occur go to the emergency room or call 911.
Asthma is a lifelong disease. Some people have fewer attacks as they grow older, but
most patients see a return of symptoms in their 30s and 40s. The effects of asthma
attacks on the lungs can cause serious problems later in life. Proper management of
asthma is very important.
