How does asthma infect the human body?

Asthma is not an infection but a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing. It is triggered by various factors, including allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, and environmental pollutants, rather than being caused by a pathogen like a virus or bacteria. When exposed to triggers, the immune system reacts, causing bronchoconstriction and increased mucus production, which results in asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Management typically involves avoiding triggers and using medications to control inflammation and open the airways.

Can you have asthma but not wheeze?

Yes, my brother and I both had asthma while we were growing up. Neither one of us wheezed, even during attacks, so doctors kept saying that we did not have it. Finally, as teens our mom took us to a respiratory specialist at the university near where we lived. We were both diagnosed with asthma. He said that most doctors misdiagnose people that do not wheeze, but their asthma can actually be worse than those that do. We started getting treated, and it made life a lot better. If you think you might have it, and you keep getting told you don't, find a good specialist.

How did Theodore Roosevelt's asthma affect him?

As a child, TR was simply a weakling. His parents, finally tired of having to baby him, told him he would simply have to work to overcome his asthma. TR was delighted with the challenge, "I will make my body." This led him to a regimen of physical activity that changed his philosophy on life. As he overcame his weakness, he saw that the demands of the "strenuous life" had helped shape him into a better person. It was a philosophy that carried him to the White House and that he was not shy about sharing with the rest of the world.

How can the pre-asthma symptoms cured completely?

Relax. When you feel your asthma flaring up, the muscles around your airway are tensing up, making it harder to breathe... so whatever you're doing, STOP!

Have you been to the doctor concerning your asthma? You should have been prescribed various medicines to control your asthma... including:

Your fast-acting inhaler. This is your first line of defense when your asthma flares up. Take only the prescribed dose. NEVER EXCEED YOUR PRESCRIBED DOSE FOR ANY MEDICATION! If your fast-acting inhaler does not work within a few minutes after taking it, use your breathing machine (nebulizer) using prescribed medication at the correct dosage. IF YOUR BREATHING MACHINE DOES NOT WORK, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY!!

(I cannot stress that enough. Believe me, I learned the hard way.)

After your asthma is back under control, continue using your preventive medications or see your doctor if you either don't have preventive medications or if the ones you have don't work. There's plenty of medications out there, and if the ones you have don't work, it's your right to find ones that do. You don't have to suffer.

P.S. : sometimes it's a good idea to take your fast-acting inhaler before you start exercising. Ask your doctor if this is a good idea for you- remember: everyone is different, so if something works for one person, it does not necessarily mean it will work for you.

God bless!
