Asthma

• WHAT: Basically, asthma is swelling of a membrane in trachea (windpipes). It is commonly misunderstood that asthma is related to lungs. Patient feels severe problems in breathing.
• WHY: There is no ultimate way to tell causes of asthma. Yet, there are three root causes: Inherited from parents, Curtains, carpets and sofas stock dirt and cause asthma, and third cause is smoking and smoking during pregnancy; the baby would be affected. There is 'Work Related Asthma' also. People working in bakeries, sawmills, flourmachines, or cotton ginning fell a prey to work related asthma. Asthma is also prominent during the weather change.
• WHO: Asthma is common in children aging 9 - 14 at the rate of 10%. In elders, it is 5%. People suffering from allergy and flu or bad cold are prone to asthma.
• Symptoms: Cough, Half-breath, and Wheezing sound in breathing are symptoms. It is not necessary for asthma to take place with all of three symptoms.
• Peak Flow Meter is used to determine the presence and severity of asthma. X-Ray and Blood test are not very helpful.
• Asthma is a permanent disease. It never vanishes. It can be controlled and the patient may live a healthy life if he takes precautionary measures. There are two types of medicines of asthma; 1- medicines during the trouble and 2- medicines to avoid trouble. These should be taken under prescription of a certified doctor. The people who do not take preventive medicines always call for trouble and they are more likely to get into complications of asthma. Best effective treatment is usage of inhaler.
• Cats and cockroaches are an important cause of asthma. Asthmatic people should avoid these and also above mentioned source e.g curtains, carpets etc.
• IMPORTANT: Never pay heed to the doctors who claim to uproot asthma completely because it is impossible. Asthma can be controlled, not eradicated. Inhaler is not last cure, it is basic. Avoid smoking and smokers. Don't let cats, cockroaches and fungus in your house or work place. Long and continuous usage of carbonated cold drinks should be avoided. Never stop the treatment midway; this is a big problem. Stop only when doctor says. Vaccination is a 50-50 results treatment and it is costly; try to avoid it.
• Live simply, carefully and healthily. "YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR ASTHMA YOURSELF."
• Get awareness about asthma. Let others to get aware and live happily.
