Asthma, a reversible obstructive respiratory disorder, is a condition that is also called hyperactive airways. With asthma, continued inadequate management can lead to a life-threatening situation known as status asthmaticus.
Asthma occurs when the smooth muscles in the bronchiole contract spastically, making a great difficulty to breathe. According to Dr Steven Trauben DC, foreign particles in the air also cause asthmatic reactions to occur, since the bronchioles are hypersensitive. As a matter of fact, about 70% of patients under the age of 30 with asthma have allergic reactions to hypersensitivity. Asthma in older people is usually caused by non-allergic irritants, like smog, for example. In all cases of asthma, the patient can inhale easily but have trouble exhaling.
With proper asthma treatment, you should be almost symptom-free and enjoy an active life. You should still treat your VA asthma even during times that you feel completely symptom-free. Furthermore, it is highly important to stay away from asthma causing factors like smoke, cold air, and smog. Allergies and viruses also induce asthmatic reactions, so it is best to avoid those too. Asthma can be controlled with proper treatment, so make sure to keep up with them.
