Learning to Recognize and Avoid Asthma Symptoms?
Asthma is a chronic, manageable disease that causes the airways of sufferers to tighten, impeding normal breathing. If left untreated, asthma attacks can be life-threatening. Asthma sufferers, however, can control the disease by learning to recognize early asthma symptoms, intervening as soon as attacks begin and managing asthma triggers.Recognizing Early Asthma SymptomsEarly signs that herald asthma flareups are often subtle. It is, however, important to recognize these symptoms, because early recognition allows sufferers to use medication to prevent serious attacks. Early symptoms of asthma include:Coughing that worsens at night.Wheezing.Weakness and coughing during exercise.Difficulty sleeping.Restlessness or unexplained moodiness.Exhaustion.Congestion, headache, sore throat or other cold symptoms.Any asthma sufferer who experiences these symptoms should take asthma medication as directed by his or her asthma plan. Anyone without an asthma plan or whose medications do not relieve the asthma symptoms should contact a doctor immediately. Recognizing an Asthma AttackSometimes asthma attacks occur with little warning, so asthma sufferers need to be prepared. Symptoms of an attack include:Difficulty breathing.Inability to talk.Blue lips.Sweating and pallor.Panic.Rapid breathing.Chest pain or tightness.Severe wheezing.Anyone experiencing these symptoms needs treatment. In cases where available prescription medications do not relieve the symptoms, the patient needs to go to the emergency room right away. Asthma attacks can escalate rapidly, so immediate medical attention is required. Preventing Asthma SymptomsWhile it is important to understand how to treat early asthma symptoms and respond to attacks, the best method for dealing with asthma is to prevent asthma symptoms from occurring. Prevention involves taking all prescribed asthma medications and having regular checkups. It also involves learning to recognize and manage asthma triggers. Triggers differ from patient to patient, but the most common asthma triggers include:Exercise, especially in cold, dry air.Irritants, such as dust and fumes.Allergens.Infections.Patients should learn their particular triggers and speak with their doctors about the best strategies to manage them. By preventing asthma symptoms whenever possible and treating occasional attacks promptly, asthma sufferers will be able to better control their asthma.

What is the term Asthma Unspecified Does it mean that a person has asthma?
== == == == Allergies and Asthma: A Common Type of Asthma Allergies and asthma often go hand-in-hand. Allergic rhinitis (also called hay fever) is inflammation of the inside lining of the nose and is the single most common chronic allergic disease experienced by people. In those with allergic rhinitis, increased sensitivity (allergy) to a substance causes your body's immune cells to release histamines in response to contact with the allergens. Histamines along with other chemicals lead to allergy symptoms. The most common allergens enter the body through the airway. With allergic rhinitis, you may feel a constant runny nose, ongoing sneezing, swollen nasal passages, excess mucus, weepy eyes, and a scratchy throat. A cough may result from the constant postnasal drip. Many times asthma symptoms are triggered by allergic rhinitis. Your doctor may prescribe medications to control the allergies and, in doing so, the cough and other asthma symptoms may subside. Exercise-Induced Asthma Exercise-induced asthma is a type of asthma triggered exercise or physical exertion. Many people with asthma experience some degree of symptoms with exercise. However, there are many people without asthma, including Olympic athletes, who develop symptoms only during exercise. With exercise-induced asthma, airway narrowing peaks five to 20 minutes after exercise begins, making it difficult to catch your breath. You may have symptoms of an asthma attack with wheezing and coughing. Your doctor can instruct you if you need to pre-medicate with asthma inhalers (bronchodilators) before exercise to prevent these uncomfortable asthma symptoms. Cough-Variant Asthma In the type of asthma called cough-variant asthma, severe coughing with asthma is the predominant symptom. There can be other causes of cough such as postnasal drip, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn). Coughing because of sinusitis with asthma is common. Asthma is a serious cause of cough that is common today. Cough-variant asthma is vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Asthma triggers for cough-variant asthma are usually respiratory infections and exercise. For any persistent cough, contact your doctor. Your doctor may order specific asthma tests, such as pulmonary function tests, to show how well your lungs function. You might need to see a lung specialist for further tests before an asthma diagnosis is made.
