Let’s take a deeper peek

As it becomes an inflammatory condition affecting daily activities, it is important to know the basic respiration to understand the method of manifestation of the disease. Normally while we inhale, the air goes through the nose down the mouth to the throat and finally to the lungs, this pathway has minute airways that help to deliver oxygen to the entire body at the same time. In asthma these minute airways are seen as narrowed with swelling creating tighter pathways for the air to move down. Phlegm or common mucus then fills up the areas, further diminishing the air entering into the lungs. 

How do we understand its presence

The signs do vary from individual to individual yet, Wheezing, squeaking or whistling sound while breathing is the most common sign of asthma seen across various age groups. Coughing especially at night, while lying down or while doing activities is yet another common sign. Other symptoms include tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, difficulty while talking, fatigue, and cough attacks worse in the presence of a respiratory pathogen like cold or flu. If you suffer from these signs and they do worsen with time with decred intervals between two episodes, it is vital that you get a respiratory check soon. 

Systemic involvement and managements

Asthma can occur due to a few major reasons. Allergen induced asthma, occupational asthma and finally exercise induced asthma. Exercise induced asthma is the most common and is affected by climatic changes. Allergen induced asthma is due to an allergic trigger which may be a food or inorganic object like pollen, even the smell of certain substances. Finding a method to stay away from them is the best method of management as well. Occupational asthma is triggered by the place of work of an individual which may be fumes, dust particles, organic substances, etc. Some researchers believe that the fourth variety of asthma is due to GERD or other abdominal disturbances. The general treatment method adopted include breathing exercises, long term oral medications and often oro-nasal medication mists are preferred.
