  • How Altitude Affect Asthma
    Asthma is a chronic condition where people have trouble breathing. These breathing problems are brought on by hyper-responsive airways, which become irritated during an asthma attack and constrict in response. This increases the resistance to airflow and allows less air to reach the lungs.

    Some people who suffer from asthma will be affected by altitude, whether in an airplane or simply at a higher elevation. If you are in relatively good health and your asthma is under con...
  • The Link Between Asthma And Acid Reflux
    Asthma is a chronic lung disorder that causes difficulty breathing. Those suffering from it have higher sensitivity - or even hyper-sensitivity - in their airways. When having an asthma attack, this sensitivity causes the airway to become irritated. It reacts by constricting itself, leading to less air being able to get through and difficult breathing.

    There has been some research that indicates that asthma symptoms can be worsened by a condition known as gastro-oesophagea...
  • What Is Occupational Asthma?
    Asthma is a condition in which a person's airways become constricted to the point where air is unable to pass through easily. This causes a reduction in the amount of air they can take in, which in turn can lead to a number of other problems. Occupational asthma is brought on by environmental conditions in a person's occupation or workplace.

    Some of the most common asthma triggers found in the workplace include vapors, fumes, dust and mists. Exposure to these things can ca...

    Proper diagnosis is important because asthma symptoms are often similar to other illnesses that can dev...
  • The Truth About Exercise Induced Asthma
    It has long been thought that exercise induced asthma and allergy induced asthma were two different varieties altogether. Recent research has shed new light on this, however.

    Exercise induced asthma is a shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing brought on by physical exertion. This is caused by inflammation of the lungs and the bronchial tissue which in turn can be caused by an allergic reaction to something. The inflammation can then trigger muscle spasms in the muscles...
  • Dealing With The Side Effects Of Asthma Medication
    Asthma medication can make a big difference for people who suffer from asthma, but there are some side effects associated with them. And unfortunately, many people stop taking their medication when these side effects occur, which can lead to increased risk of an asthma attack.

    The side effects vary, depending on the medication in question, and their severity also varies. It can range from mild jitteriness to more severe effects. The following are some of the most common me...
  • The Link Between Asthma And Cough
    One of the common symptoms of asthma is coughing, particularly during the night. It generally doesn't have the typical wheeziness most coughs product, however. This night cough has a particularly negative effect because it can affect the sleep of both the asthma sufferer and anyone else in the house.

    This cough is often the first sign of asthma in children, so if their cough continues for any length of time it's best to let their doctor know. It's also often a warning sign...
