Learning to Reduce the Effects of Asthma and Other Allergies
Many people are needlessly suffering with asthma and allergies because they don’t know the steps that need to be taken in order to minimize the effects of these illnesses.
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed and swollen. The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing, especially at night and in the early morning.
There are things in the environment that bring on your asthma symptoms and lead to asthma attacks. Some of the more common things include exercise, allergens, irritants, and viral infections. Some people have asthma only when they exercise or have a viral infection.
Some examples of allergens that can precipitate an attack of Asthma are animal dander (from the skin, hair, or feathers of animals), dust mites (contained in house dust), cockroaches, pollen from trees and grass.
