ASTHMA IS BASICALLY A CONSTRICTION OF YOUR AIRWAYS THAT MAKES IT HARD TO BREATHE....SYMPTOMS ARE WHEEZING AND CHEST TIGHTNESS

Asthma is a reactive airways disease hallmarked by bronchospasm (airways tightening down), inflammation of the airway lining, and secretion production. Frequently associated with wheezing and or coughing and shortness of breath. Untreated it can cause significant and irreversible damage.

The first line of treatment for persistent asthma is to address the inflammation with inhaled steroids (don't worry, this is very different than oral steroids and not the same as what the athletes are doing). Then you treat breakthroughs with a bronchodilator like Albuterol.

See your doctor. Get a pre and post bronchodilator spirometry test at a pulmonary lab. See a pulmonologist or a pediatric pulmonologist if you have any trouble managing your asthma.

When asthma is properly managed, there are no limits to lifestyle or participation in sports.

people that do not have asthma have airways e.g. this size
I I. but people with asthma have very reduced size,
I I which makes it harder for them to breathe when doin any physical exercise or strenuase work, becuase obviously u have less room for hair to pass through and when u r exerscising and get out of breathe you try to breathe in more air quickly. when somebody has an asthma attack the airway kind of swells up which restricts breathing. the syptoms would be extremly short of breathe and find it hard to breathe when doing physical exercise, most asthmatics hae wheezy chests sometimes and sound wheezy when they are ill. a diagbosis is all depends on how badly you have it some people need to take an inhaler every day. some people only need to take in once in a while when doin exercise, what an inhaler does is it tries to relax you airways and stop it spasming so it is a lil bit easier for you to breathe,
hope this helps

Asthma is a respiratory disease wherein the victim becomes incapable of breathing normally. This is caused by too much mucus, or inflamed or constricted airways. It has many triggers, from stress to allergen to respiratory infections to exercise.

Basically it's when your lungs seize up and refuse to function any further. For far more detailed information, see the source material.

Asthma is basically an allergic reaction your respiratory system has to an allergen or allergens. Its most noticeable sign is wheezing but not always. My 8 year old is a severe asthmatic and rarely shows signs of wheezing. He experiences a lot of shortness of breath and tightening in the chest and has what his doctor calls coughing fits.

They actually consider asthma a disease. ways of telling you have asthma is, wheezing when breathing, shortness of breath, hurts to breath in. those were symptoms I had. There are lots of great meds out there now to help. See your doctor or go to an allergist.

It is a state of constriction of breathing areas. This happens due to relationship based tension deep down the sub-conscious. Sudden breathlessness without heart problem, due to blocking of nose without cold can be taken as an attack of asthma.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/7XsVB
