Asthma ProductsAsthma and its symptoms Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory condition of the lung airways. Symptoms are cough, wheeze, chest tightness and shortness of breath, often worse at night. Bronchospasm is the key event in asthma, a sudden but reversible tightening of the bands that surround the airways. The narrowed airways stop the air from leaving the lungs at the normal speed. This means that the lungs are still half full when it is time for the next inhalation. Inflammation of the airways often begins with an allergic reaction to something in the air – such as the house dust mite or pet allergens. It could also start with a viral infection or a large dose of an irritant such as chlorine. If you think you may have asthma you should go for a consultation with your doctor. What triggers asthma?
Triggers vary from one asthmatic to another and could include:
• cold or dry air, weather conditions, particularly thunderstorms
• irritants in the air including strong smells
• dust mite and pet allergy
• sulphur dioxide used as preservatives in some foods and drinks
• any altered breathing pattern (laughing, coughing etc.)
• stress and anxiety, or strong emotions
• colds, flu and chest infections, exercise Avoidance and treatment
Minimise contact with allergens and irritants, allowing the airways to calm down so that they are less sensitive. Treat associated symptoms such as sinusitis and hay fever and eat a healthy diet. Treat bronchospasm with the use of reliever drugs prescribed by your doctor. We suggest that avoidance of irritants could include:
• using barrier cases on bedding to protect against the house dust mite
• using an efficient air purifier • drinking filtered water
• a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter
• monitoring and controlling the humidity in your home
• using a dehumidifier (if necessary) to combat mould and dust mites
• avoiding the use of chemicals in the home |
