Asthma

During an attach the airwaves narrows creating a much smaller space for the air to pass through. Compare it to try breathing through a hose, and then a drinking straw.

Symptoms of skin allergies or allergic reactions tend to be redness, inflammation, and itching. Breaking of the skin and a burning sensation are typically also signs of a reaction.

Depending on how severe the symptoms are, and what type of asthma you have been diagnosed with, there are several things you can do,

1. Just live with it.

2.Take medication such as advair, or an instant relief inhaler like albuterol.

3. Sometimes your asthma can be reduced extensively through exercise. Great exercises include running, swimming, sprinting(not the same as just running), and all types of cardiovascular activities. Sometimes your asthma can go away completely through exercise, especially if your asthma is weight dependent.

It can be, yes.

Some athletes who do not have asthma use inhalers improperly to improve their performance. When you inhale enough of it you get a rush, and it speeds your heart up. Causing a speedy rush for a few minutes. Though, this is dangerous. And no one should try it.

Even when I use my inhaler for asthma, sometimes I get that speeding feeling, so I'm sure someone who doesn't have asthma would definitely get it alot more.

I don't believe that Victorian England ever had asthma as a disease. Asthma was hardly ever diagnosed before 1900s. It would've been diagnosed as a bronchial disease and they were mostly treated with hot packs.

ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH MEDICAL QUESTIONS, DO NOT TRUST INTERNET ANSWERS WITH YOUR LIFE. Asthma may kill you if not enough oxygen is exchanged in your lungs. Lack of oxygen causes tissue death. Though most people use medication to regulate there asthma and live otherwise normal lifes.

Asthma is a very common condition. In developed countries between three and six percent of the total population have asthma. Asthma occurs more frequently in children with approximately one in five children suffering from the condition in some countries. In children, it is more common in boys than girls; in adults, it is more common in women than in men. The rate of occurance of asthma varies dramatically in different countries and regions.ISAAC, The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, is the largest worldwide collaborative research project ever undertaken. Focussing strictly on children, the study has categorized the prevalence of asthma throughout much of the world since 1991. What we have found from the study is: (a) The rate of asthma is higher (up to 20% of the youth population) in affluent countries such as the USA, UK and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand; the rate is dramatically lower (as low as 2%) in less-developed countries such as Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Greece and Eastern European nations. (b) The rate of asthma is dramatically higher in urban regions than in rural regions, and dramatically higher among the urban poor. (c) The rate of asthma worldwide is increasing over time. Health organizations have found increased rates of 200% to 400% over 20-30 years. The most dramatic increases have been found in regions moving from more-primitive to more-"westernized" living conditions. (d) The data has not provided any distinct indication of a cause or causes for asthma.

the walls of the alveoli are very thin but strong layers of elastic tissue lines with a single layer of flattened epithelium.

Place your mouth over the mouth piece and make sure your tongue is underneath. Then breath in and push all the air out of your lungs. Then squeeze the pump and breath in. Hold your breath for as long as you can so that the medicine can reach your lungs.

There is allergic and non-allergic asthma. An allergy is when your body mistakes a substance that is harmless for harmful and then reacts to and tries to expel it. Asthma is when your airways become inflamed and it makes your bronchial tubes sensitive. The sensitized bronchial tubes can spasm to: more allergen exposure, infections, irritants such as cigarette smoke, perfumes, bleach, ammonia, etc. Having an untreated or unrecognized allergic reaction in your lungs can inflame the breathing tubes and cause asthma.

Probably nothing, if they're being taken in the doses that would normally be prescribed, and not an overdose or a bad combination of medications. Some medications have side effects--rapid heart beat, for instance--but that wouldn't necessarily be different whether you have or don't have asthma.

fast breathing rate In asthma or other lung diseases, the ability to expire carbon dioxide decreases, resulting in buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, resulting in respiratory acidosis (decreased pH in the blood). Acidosis stimulates the respiratory centers in the brain, causing the respiratory rate to increase (tachypnea) to attempt to normalize the pH of the blood.

I used to live in Ohio with horrid sneezing fits, and asthma problems. My asthma isn't even that bad. I moved to Sacramento California and both symptoms are virtually non existent now.

Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of airflows and the symptoms for asthma are producing wheezing sound, cough, and extreme difficulty for breathing.Herbal remedies for asthma are helpful to cure it efficiently. They are effective and it is a good old remedy. The herbs used in the herbal remedies for asthma are natural herbs, and the herbs are safe.

Herbs such as astragalus, ashwaganda root, borage leaf and seed oil, licorice, and eleuthero support both the lungs and adrenals. Nervous-system regulators such as oatstraw and skullcap will also help. If your asthma is caused by allergies, consider taking supplements such as NAC, quercetin, SOD, and homeopathic detoxification formulas to support the liver in its effort to detoxify. It is also important to work the lungs to improve their capacity.

Ephedra sinica has been one of these herbal remedies for asthma that have come to the forefront of our modern times for its inherent value to treat the disease effectively. The herb, called ma Huang, has since had a chemical extracted from its components called ephedrine that has been used to create a pharmaceutical

component for the treatment. Experts believe that there are other possible elements to ma Huang that can create assistance in breathing for asthma sufferers.

Other notable herbs used to combat asthma such as Ephedra and Hyssop are purported to relieve respiratory congestion. The mullein oil and green tea on the other hand helps dilate bronchial passageways to regulate oxygen circulation. Meanwhile, Nettle and Lobelia exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that are essential in the upkeep of routine respiratory health.

Mix a teaspoon of fresh ginger juice with a cup of fenugreek decoction and honey to taste and take this remedy once in the morning and once in the evening. It acts as an excellent expectorant in cases of asthma. The decoction of fenugreek can be made by mixing one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in a cupful of water.

In a saucepan mix together 2 glasses of water, 1 stick of Cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of Thyme, 1 lime (halved), 3 Heads of Garlic and 1/2 purple onion. Bring this mixture to the boil and add 1 more cup of cold water. Let it boil until it reduces to half. Strain the liquid and drink as a tea or if you have children with asthma, they can take 1 tablespoon every 3 hours mixed with honey.

Yerba Mate is a very helpful herbal remedy for asthma. It helps stimulate the adrenal glands to release corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation, as well as hyperactive immune responses to irritants. It also helps relax the airways, and dilate the bronchial passages.

Modern medicine offers children with asthma little more than temporary relief for their symptoms. The right herbs, however, not only help these children to catch their breath, but also reduce attacks by strengthening their lungs and their immune systems. You will findmullein and elecampane-which herbalists have found to be exceptionally tonic and healing to the lungs-in almost every commercially available herbal formula for asthma. These herbs also arrest or eliminate symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath by opening the constricted bronchial passages.

Other herbs also act as antihistamines to open air passages and relieve wheezing. (Histamines are substances released in the body that produce swelling and constrict bronchial passages.) These herbs include some familiar and tasty children's favorites, such asanise, ginger, peppermint and chamomile. German studies have shown that chamomile may slow allergic reactions, such as those that trigger asthma attacks, by increasing the adrenal glands' production of cortisone, which reduces lung inflammation and makes breathing easier.Motherwort and passionflower, which are commonly used by Italian physicians to treat asthma, not only decrease the severity of lung spasms but also reduce anxiety, thus lessening the chance of an attack. Lemon verbena tea-a flavorful drink that almost any child will appreciate-is commonly given to South American children to reduce their wheezing. If your child suffers from asthma, you too may want to try a tea made with these herbs, but you may also want to keep a tincture of these same herbs on hand for times when making tea is inconvenient. Many herbal asthma formulas are available in natural food stores.

..Well. From my research and whatnot. Asthma cannot be cured, but it can be treated. There's many medications to keep your asthma under control, but there is no cure for it. You'll always have it. But you can treat it to where it's very minor. Ask your doctor. (:

it depends on how bad your asthma is. most people with bad asthma use their inhaler before and after exercise if needed
