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.

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.
