Asthma - Overview
Asthma is a psychosomatic disorder - triggered as
much by allergens as by dysfunctional
relationships and stress. It is a long-term
inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.
Some of the common symptoms of asthma include
wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and
shortness of breath. These episodes may occur a
few times a day or a few times in a week.
Depending on the person, they may become worse at
night or with exercise. People who suffer from
asthma rarely breathe easy. Even the parents of
children who suffer from asthma worry over their
childs every breath. It is important to
understand that asthma should not be considered a
single disease. It does not have a uniform
pattern of presentation. Early medical
consultation can help control asthma. So, dont
let the wheeze of asthma strangle your zest for
life. Take early treatment to cope with it.

Asthma - Symptoms
Some of the common asthma symptoms
include Coughing, especially at night
Wheezing Shortness of breath Chest tightness,
pain or pressure However, not every person with
asthma has the same symptoms. Your asthma
symptoms may also vary from one asthma attack to
the next, being mild during one and severe during
another. In some cases, people su?ering from
asthma may go for extended periods without having
any symptoms, interrupted by periodic worsening
of their symptoms called asthma attacks. Others
might have asthma symptoms every day. In
addition, some people may only have asthma while
exercising.

Asthma Causes
Asthma is characterised by an extended expiratory
exhalation and reduced inspiratory inhalation
breathing phase. This is due to bronchial spasm
- a condition caused by a combination of factors.
The causes include allergy to a certain
substance allergen, perhaps certain foods, such
as eggs, prawns and shell ?sh pollutants,
physical exertion, viral infection, cold air,
tobacco smoke, animal feathers and dander, and
even certain conventional medicines. Other
factors include chemicals and toxins as well as
temperature changes and humidity. The disorder
could also be activated by irritation or
infection of the respiratory tract or a
gastrointestinal upset, which is typically a
result of late or irregular meals, hyperacidity,
faulty eating habits, dietetic indiscretion or
junk food. Certain emotional factors such as
anxiety and emotional worries may trigger sudden
bouts of asthma. Clinicians suggest that a
constitutional predisposition could also trigger
the disorder - this is supposedly related to
desperate feelings of dependence. A childs
asthmatic attacks, for example, could be a call
for help, or a subconscious appeal to his/her
mother for attention.

Asthma - Diagnosis
To diagnose asthma, our homeopaths will do a
physical exam and ask you questions about your
signs and symptoms of asthma and about any other
health problems. They will ask about your family
history, medication (if any) and your
lifestyle. If needed, they may suggest you lung
function tests to detect how well air moves in
and out as you breathe. These tests may
include Spirometry It measures how much air you
inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you
exhale. The results of this test can help the
homeopath tell if you have asthma or how well
your asthma is managed. Peak flow It measures
how well air moves out of your lungs. During an
asthma episode, your airways often narrow. A
peak flow can measure this narrowing hours, even
days, before you have any asthma symptoms. After
you're diagnosed with asthma, you may also have
allergy tests to see if your symptoms might be
triggered by an allergy.
