Breath is Life–Fight Asthma! (Posted in getmedixcom) Asthma-
has become a significantly common disease that everybody must
have heard of somewhere, sometime! The highest ratio rests with
Australia, who has in fact, around two million Australians have
asthma; that is about 10% of the population It’s so common!
Yet, unless one knows some facts and have studied it or had it
explained by a doctor, one wonder what asthma actually is Have
you ever been felt breathless while, gasping for breath? It’s
difficult for anyone to understand what an asthma attack feels
like, but truly, it is too much scary! For anyone who has never
had an asthma attack, it is very hard to understand what it
feels like The small air sacs and airways of the lungs become
irritated Thus, they swell and can fill with mucous This
leaves less space in the airways for air to move through and it
becomes hard to get enough air into the lungs This results in
chest pain and an overwhelming desire to breathe rapidly which
actually worsens the situation Asthma is a life threatening
disease and should be taken seriously Even a mild asthma attack
can be very serious A mild asthma
attack can develop into a more serious attack or it might
exhaust the patient so much such that a mild attack can become
fatal In general, asthma is caused by an irritation of the
airways Some common irritants of Asthma are: 61607; Dust
61607; Pollen 61607; Tobacco 61607; Allergens 61607; Hay
fever 61607; Viral infections 61607; Animal hair 61607;
Temperature changes 61607; Heavy Exercise
However there is no cure for the asthma disease, but clearly the
disease is manageable Medication is available to prevent
attacks and relieve the symptoms There is no single cause and
no single answer Attacks can be minimised by avoiding known
triggers as much as possible and by leading a generally healthy
lifestyle, including fresh foods and exercise
