Asthma

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the best way to improve indoor air quality is to get rid of the source of pollutants and ventilate your interior spaces with clean outdoor air. While air purifiers can reduce airborne pollutants, they cannot eliminate them. They also can't clear the dust, dander, and other particles that have already settled on surfaces around your home.

But that doesn't mean air purifiers aren't effective in real life. Different brands of air purifiers have different models and performances. Air purifiers that are good at filtering fine particles such as dust and pollen can often solve the above-mentioned problems. It can be said to be a powerful air purification assistant.

So do you really need an air purifier?

If you have allergies, respiratory diseases or asthma, then an air purifier can help you reduce these symptoms.

If you have pets, I think it is necessary for you to use an air purifier. Even if you think you are not allergic to pet hair, you cannot see the air pollutants attached to their hair.

If you have second-hand smoke around you, opening windows for ventilation will not improve the air. At this time, a HEPA filter is required.

Besides, Even if you are the cleanest person in the world, and your hobby is cleaning your home, you may not be able to avoid the air pollutants brought in by your relatives and friends from outside, thus, an air purifier can help carry the burden of filtering and clearing those pollutants.

Seeing this, if you think you really need to use an air purifier, but you don’t have any idea to buy it, maybe you can try this one: Bagotte BAP20 Air Purifier.

Can crohn's disease resemble arsenic poisoning?

Massage can be very beneficial to a person with asthma by helping to soothe their aching breathing muscles. A gentle relaxing would also benefit them by reducing their stress and anxiety which is usually associated with asthma as a trigger for an attack.

Cold air, inhaled dust etc., virus that never got cured, sick a lot

noo boo boo

There is one way that one can appropriately use a spacer when administering asthma medications. A spacer is used by attaching the spacer to the inhaler.

over 300 million people currently have Asthma.

Air pollution, allergies, various things. I think a poor diet is a contributory factor inasmuch as children are developing more auto-immunne disorders. Indoor pollution with paint, woodwork and carpets outgassing toxic pollutants whilst children sit at the computer playing games instead of getting fresh air and exercise. Please look for products with low or no VOC's[ volatile organic compounds], and use less toxic household cleaners.

Technically, no. Asthma is a respiratory disease that causes bronchospasms. This causes the airways going to the lungs to become narrowed, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide release.

If your talking about Mikey Way, then no he doesn't have asthma.

A GP should do.

No, asthma is not spreadable,it is a disease of the lungs. It is treatable and those who have it can live a very productive life if it is taken care of. A doctor specializing in the field of allergies and asthma is very helpful. They will treat your disease and teach you how to best care for yourself.

Asthma is a condition in which the airway becomes blocked, leading to wheezing, and it is difficult to breathe. Millions of people suffer from the disease and require treatment and medications to keep it under control so that they can breathe normally. There are two different types of asthma allergic and non-allergic. While you can work toward keeping the condition under control, there is no cure for asthma. There is often a question as to what exactly causes asthma.

Asthma is a condition that is genetic and generally appears in individuals who have family members who have it. In most cases, people who suffer from asthma come from families who suffer from allergies. Essentially, an asthma attack comes about as a result of what is known as a trigger. A trigger is a substance that causes a reaction in individuals who have sensitive airway systems, which in turn causes wheezing and difficulty in breathing.

As previously stated, allergies are a key reason for individuals developing asthma. Many people with asthma developed it as children, while others had no asthmatic symptoms until adulthood. Substances that cause allergic reactions can trigger an asthma attack, such as pollen, mold, dust mites, animal dander and certain foods if the person has food allergies.

Another cause of asthma is an irritant that is present in the air. One of these in particular that can certainly lead to the development in asthma is cigarette smoke. There are harmful chemicals in cigarettes that can damage the airways of individuals not only smoking them but that of those around them, especially children. This is largely why kids who are exposed to cigarette smoke end up having respiratory problems, including asthma.

Asthma can also be caused by an illness that affects the respiratory system, such as a cold or the flu. Certain infections that affect the respiratory system can also be triggers of asthma symptoms, such as a throat infection, sinusitis, tonsillitis and bronchitis.

Certain activities can also lead to asthma because they lead to irregular breathing. Exercise induced asthma is caused by activities such as running or jogging and you are breathing heavier due to the vigor and physicality of your movements.

The weather can also cause asthma. Very dry conditions and especially bitterly cold air can lead to wheezing and an asthma attack. Often, this occurs because it is more difficult to breathe or because you feel the need to breathe primarily or fully through the mouth.

Stress can even cause asthma. When your mind is under stress, it takes a toll on your body as well.

Yes it is, if you get it once you are older. Asthma can go away after a period of time with the use of steroids. It can also be controlled by dusting frequently. However, if you are born with asthma you will never be without.

Yes and No.

YES

*It can cause death if you don't keep on it. My little brother has asthma and he's in the hospital about 10 times a year. If we don't take him to the hospital when he has an asthma attack he could die. So yes. Just keep on it and if you can carry a rescue inhaler.

NO

*It won't cause death. ONly as long as your on top of it. Medication is your best resource. That or breathing treatments/inhalers. So No it's not going to kill you aslong as you have a doctor or someone who has experienced it by your side. Keep posted for more asthma questions that I've aswered.

Wathch for the 2 smileys and 123 at the bottom.

It is not recommended to smoke, especially if you have asthma. Some of the side effects include medicine becoming less effective and worsening of symptoms associated with asthma.

Asthma is not transmitted like an infection (eg. the flu, colds, etc.). Rather it tends to be a condtion a person is born with, or born with the tendancy to get asthma later on in life. Asthma attacks (when a person with asthma begins to struggle to breathe) are brought on by exercise, pollutants (cigarette smoke, city smog), allergens (pollen), even cold air.

no, it can boost sicknesses, but not cause them.

The causes of childhood asthma are often hereditary, but you can get it from having colds or other type of respiratory infections. This is the leading causes of children being rushed to the E.R.

well asthma has been said to come through dust and carpets etc. but why do you get it in Africa because you don't have all these things we do so it is believed for it to be carried through genes

Asthma seems to be a genetic problem, so if your parents have asthma, chances are you will have it too. The number of people with asthma is increasing, so the chances of passing it on to future generations are high.

When you have them, they both make you feel like you can't breath. and there is a tightening in your chest when they happen.

No, asthma has nothing to do with your throat, it is the airways in your lungs, they inflame and fill with mucus.

An inhaler contains a certain medicine that disolves into mist and you inhale it, and the medicine opens your airways first (you must take it two times) and the second time it just does the same but also calms down lung spasms (which is what makes an asthmetic cough, it is your lungs attempt to clear the mucus, although not all asthmetics have mucus, but I do)

Also there is a muscle wrapped around your lung's airways, and in an asthma attack these muscles tighten, which is what causes the inflamation (swelling). The inhaler relaxes these muscles, although they still are ALWAYS more tight than a non-asthmetic, so an asthmetic really doesn't no what it is like to breathe normal, even if they think so ;)

If you have well controlled asthma your lung function should be relatively normal between attacks. The way to develop well controlled asthma is to see your doctor on a regular basis, take your asthma medications exactly as prescribed. There are about 10-20% of asthmatics who may develop severe asthma, and this may be due to repeated uncontrolled asthma exacerbations or by other things, such as smoking cigarettes, that cause lung scarring, or chronic airway changes, withing the lungs. These severe asthmatics may develop some degree of permanent loss of lung capacity. Otherwise, the only time your lung capacity will be diminished is while you are having an asthma attack.
