What is Asthma? 
  • Asthma is a long-term illness that severely
    affects the airways. It causes narrowing inside
    the lungs and inflammation, which hinders proper
    air supply. 
  • A person having asthma may face
  • Persistent coughing 
  • Tightness in the chest area
  • Intense mucus production 
  • Shortness of breath 
  • Wheezing 
  • An asthma attack arises only when symptoms get
    severe the attack occurs suddenly and ranges
    from mild a life-threatening stage. In some
    patients, inflammation in the airways obstructs
    oxygen flow in the body and needs urgent care. A
    physician will offer some over-the-counter
    medicines and suitable treatment to control the
    symptoms.

Causes of Asthma
  • Doctors have not concluded yet on the causes of
    asthma. However, both environmental and genetic
    factors seem to play a crucial role. 
  • Genetic factors
  • There is evidence to back up and suggests that
    asthma does run in families. Children of
    asthmatic parents are at risk of developing
    asthma. Moreover, the risk is higher if the
    related person is exposed to asthma at an early
    age.
  • Environmental factors 
  • Air pollution is also a pivotal factor in
    developing asthma. Allergens both outside and
    inside of the house can trigger asthma. 
  • Some indoor allergens include
  • Animal hair
  • Dust
  • Paint and household cleaner fumes
  • Feathers
  • Mold
  • Cockroaches
