ASTHMA: what to do when diagnose

Asthma is a respiratory disorder, often allergic origin, characterized by difficulty in breathing, wheezing and a sense of constriction in the chest. A case where difficulty in breathing that is brought upon by the narrowing of the bronchi during short period of the time, is observed. However, the seriousness of this breathing disorder depend on the extent to which the tubes become narrow. Such narrowing and possible difficulty occur as a result of respiratory infections (Asthmatic bronchitis), general hypersensitivity to dust, atmospheric pollution or cigarette smoke and nervous factor. In asthma there is interference with the passage of air through the membrane-lined tubes that serves the lungs. The lining of the bronchi (the branches of the trachea that extend into the lung) become congested and swollen, and an unusual amount of mucus is secreted within these tubes. The patient has more difficulty in expelling air than in drawing it in. Half the cases of asthma are caused by factors which i have mentioned earlier and the remaining seems to result from infections of the organs of breathing in which the patient has become sensitive to the products of the germs responsible for the infection.
