Asthma

The heart rate of a three year old child with fever will beat faster than usual. It is therefore important to take such the child to seek medical attention as far.

it is when the trees in you lunges star swelling and inflating so not that much oxygen gos through, so you get shortness of breath. you can get ashma if one of your parents had it . ashma usually runs in the family. like i got ashma because my mom had it. usually ashma will com in until your 11 or 12 years old. i was 12 when i got my ashma. if you got ashma got to the doctor to get prescription for an inhaler.ashma is when you dont have enought oxygen in you.

from the smoke they have bad flammable things

ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH MEDICAL QUESTIONS, DO NOT TRUST INTERNET ANSWERS WITH YOUR LIFE. Consult your primary care physician. He may futher refer you to a pulmonologist (lung doctor).

It is not possible to know who was first diagnosed with Asthma as there was no record of the person's name or identity. Asthma was first officially recorded as a medical condition or problem in 450BC by Hippocrates in Greece.

Asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the airways. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. It affects 7% of the United States, 5% of British people, and a total of 300 million worldwide. Athsma also causes 250,000 deaths per year worldwide.

As far I have not been able to get a straight answer whether asthma can be inherited of not. What I find in http://www.asthmastory.com/ is asthma can be attributed to a virus and can be cured. In that case it should not be hereditary. However any useful comments will be appreciated.

Just researching this very question tonight. I have a friend in the hospital, and tonight, they administered morphine to help her breathing. I had never heard this either. She does have cancer and is about to begin treatment.

Asthma is never automatically diagnosed after a single visit or what not. It is diagnosed after observing certain symptoms over a period of time. There are multiple diseases that are present in a patient that could have asthma... such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, or simple symptoms such as prolonged wheezing. There are many tests that a pulmonologist can gather to help determine if the patient has asthma or not. For example, the doctor observes the patient's response to Bronchodilators/corticosterioids. He or she can order pulmonary function test (PFT) to measure how well the lungs are able to take in and exhale air.

During an asthma attack, your bronchioles (tubes that carry air into your lungs) constrict and air cannot pass through them as freely. In order to make up for this loss in cross sectional area, a person needs to breathe harder to get enough oxygen. The way you do that is to expand your thoracic wall with more force (when you breathe, your muscles stretch your rib cage out and air is sucked in through your trachea and into your bronchioles, eventually making its way into your alveoli where gas exchange occurs). This creates a negative pressure in the thoracic cavity at a greater magnitude than normal. Increased negative pressure in the thoracic cavity will result in decreased filling of the left ventricle of your heart because the blood will preferentially remain in the lung due to the negative pressure "sucking" it back as opposed to moving into the left atrium (the left atrium holds the blood before it enters the left ventricle, which is the chamber that pumps blood out to the peripheral parts of your body such as your arms, legs, and head). This decreased end diastolic volume (volume in the ventricle after it has finished filling) is going to result in a lower stroke volume (volume of blood expelled from the heart during contraction). If you have a lower stroke volume, you are not pushing as much blood into your arteries and the pressure will, naturally, be lower than normal. Your body will try to compensate for this decrease in pressure by increasing heart rate (known as the baroreceptor reflex) and by constricting arterioles to increase peripheral resistance, but these efforts are not enough to fully counteract the effects of the pulsus paradoxus. Thus, during an asthma attack your blood pressure will be decreased.

You can try various natural remedies. For instance herb ginkgo was used for treating asthma for centuries. Magnesium may make you feel better, also. Of course, you should know that the first step to treat asthma is visiting your doctor.

instric asthma is when you dont need an inhaler exinstric asthma is when you do need an inhaler Traditionally, doctors have divided asthma into two general categories, Extrinsic (allergic) asthma and Intrinsic (non-allergic) asthma, depending upon the types of stimuli that trigger attacks. Extrinsic asthma is caused by an immune system response to inhaled allergens such as pollen, animal dander or dust mite particles. An allergen (or an antigen) is a foreign particle that enters the body. The immune system over-reacts to these often harmless items, forming antibodies, which are normally used to attack viruses or bacteria. Intrinsic asthma is not allergy-related and is caused by anything except an allergy. It may be caused by inhalation of chemicals such as cigarette smoke or cleaning agents, taking aspirin, a chest infection, stress, laughter, exercise, cold air, food preservatives or a myriad of other factors. The terms intrinsic and extrinsic asthma have now been replaced by terms related to the asthma trigger, since the inflammatory response of the airways is the same independent of the cause of the asthma. What was known as extrinsic asthma is now called allergic asthma, while asthma triggered by non-allergic factors, formerly called intrinsic asthma, is separated into such categories as exercise-induced asthma and occupational (chemical- induced) asthma. Inhalers may be prescribed for both allergic asthma (extrinsic) and non-allergic asthma (intrinsic).

Beta2-microglobulin is a protein found on the surface of many cells. Testing is done primarily when evaluating a person for certain kinds of cancer affecting white blood cells.

If you are congested, a type of medicine called an expectorant will help loosen the congestion so you can more easily cough it up. Many cough medicine preparations contain expectorant medication. One of the expectorant ingredients that works best for my family is called Guaifenesin. Read the label on the cough medicines and pick one with that as the active ingredient. There are also longer acting tablets with guaifenesin as the active ingredient available also over the counter called Mucinex. Both of these types of medicine have been recommended by many health care professionals during the pandemic.

No propranolol can not be given to patient with asthma, because it increase the bronchial resistance by blocking B2 receptors which consistently worsen asthma, which may even trigger a severe asthma attack.

The inhalation of cannabis smoke causes bronchial dilation making breathing easier and lasting up to one hour. The bronchodilator effect of orally injested THC lasts up to six hours, but is not so powerful as smoking cannabis. Other research demonstrates that THC defends against the encroachment of emphysema and suppresses coughing.

I have the same problem! I read somewhere of what it's called. but heres a site that has helped me a lot. my mom showed it to me. Very great. ~mmfwcl~

There are two main types of inhalers, a preventer (usually brown) and a reliever (usually blue).

The preventer has steroids, and is supposed to be taken everyday to limit the risks of asthma attacks.

The relevier has salbutamol (or something similar) which is a bronchodilator, and helps open up the airways during an asthma attack, this one should only be taken when needed.

hope this helps

You need to go to the ER as soon as possible to be sure you are not having a stroke or heart attack. I am not trying to frighten you and it could well be an anxiety attack (they can sure feel like a heart attack.) There could be other reasons for this such as an irritated colon, twisted bowel, etc. Let the specialists in the hospital do their thing.

Touchy subject, better ask the VA (they have a hot line for that topic).

Usually deaths attributed to "smog" (inclusive of ozone), are caused by constriction of air passages. The heart rate goes up, the organism goes into stress... requiring more oxygen, but the inflammation does not allow more oxygen to arrive (or as much CO2 to leave). So they smother.

does athma EFFECT ANY RACE MORE THAN ANOTHER
