What is ASTHMA?

Asthma is a disease of the airways, the small tubes which carry air in and out of the lungs.

When exposed to certain asthma triggers (such as cold air, exercise, pollen, and viruses) the sensitive airways react. They can become red and swollen (inflamed) which causes the airway muscles to tighten and produce excess mucus (phlegm). This makes the airways narrow and difficult for a person to breathe.

  • Does your cough come and go and recur over time?

Asthma is a manageable health condition. Although at the moment there is no cure, with good asthma management and education, people with asthma can lead normal, active lives.

It has two phase:

1.EARLY phase(acute)
2.CHRONIC phase
In early or acute phase there is excessive mucous secretion and bronchial smooth muscle spasm.
In chronic phase continuous inflammation, fibrosis, oedema, necrosis of bronchial epithelial cells.

Sometimes you may be wondering why this happened to no one else in your house and why it happened to you?

Although asthma can be inherited, there are many people with asthma who do not have any relative asthma, but because your lungs are more sensitive, they react when they are exposed to the following:
  • Common cold
  • Algae, moisture, house dust, animal fur or certain foods that cause allergies.
  • Paints, sprays, cigarettes or any type of smoke, pollution that causes work-related / occupational asthma.
  • Exercise: Excessive fatigue or any physical stress such as climbing stairs, running etc.
  • Weather: Any change in weather can be cold or hot.
  • Emotions: Anger, restlessness or happiness.
  • Certain drugs e.g NSAIDs,beta blocker

How to know that asthma is getting worse?

Be alert for asthma symptoms
  • Cough
  • Wheeze
  • Tight chest
  • Wake up at night

This cough and shortness of breath can be controlled with medication which is of two types:

1. Reliver Medicine
2. Controller Medicine

1. Reliver Medicine

  • Provides immediate relief against cough and shortness of breath.
  • It opens up the narrowed airways when you have a severe cough and difficulty breathing.
  • This should only be taken at the time of emergency.

2. Controller Medicine

  • Provides prolonged relief against cough and shortness of breath.
  • It treats inflammation in your lungs and makes the airways less sensitive to inflammation, which causes coughing and shortness of breath.
  • This has to be taken every day whether it has symptoms or not.

These drugs come in a variety of forms:

These drugs can be taken in various forms such as inhalers, tablets or syrups Thus inhalers have many advantages over tablets and syrups.

Inhalers

  • Inhalers take effect quickly.
  • Only a small dose of the drug remains essential.
  • Very little or no side effects
  • Proves to be effective in the long run.

You don't have to worry about inhalers!!

Yes, the most special is that it directly affects the part where the problem is (the airways in the lungs), just like we apply ointment across the skin for a skin problem or just put drops directly into the eye for an eye problem.

After regular treatment a test will be done to test the capacity of your lungs.

PFT: PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST

Once your PFT readings are in the normal range you can also lead a normal life e.g.:
  • A persistent mucus (“smoker’s cough”)
  • Even if it does, there are very few attacks of coughing and shortness of breath.
  • Sleep well without space due to symptoms.
  • You don't have to give up your work, study or everyday activities

And most importantly:

No emergency visit or admission to the hospital is required.

Prevention of asthma attacks:

  • Follow the asthma action plan that you have discussed with your doctor
