Asthma
Asthma is so common that if you happen to not have it, you know somebody that suffers form it. If you do not understand what it fully is you do know what the symptoms are.
Asthma is a respiratory condition where the small airways in the lungs tighten up, and it makes a person having an attack difficult to breathe. The time that an asthma attack can last is dependent on the seriousness of the condition and also how tight the airways happen to be.
People of any age can suffer from asthma but it is common to first appear when they are a child. Some lucky asthma suffers happen to outgrow this conditionThere are also some people that will live with asthma for the rest of their life.
There are people who have asthma that have no other relatives in their families who have it. This is something that is commonly misunderstood about asthma.
Asthma symptoms usually are cough, wheezing, tightness in the chest, breath shortness, and a hard time to breathe. Symptoms do vary form person to person.
An asthma attack has levels of mild, moderate, and severe.
For somebody that had mild asthma they have attacks when they have an upper respiratory infection. Most other times they are completely fine and have no asthma symptoms at all.
Moderate asthma suffers will have symptoms from time to time. It might be worse early in the morning or late in the night, when they have a cold, illness, or are under stress.
Asthma suffers that have severe asthma usually have asthma symptoms every single day. They find it hard to even talk to people at times, impossible to have any activity physically at all. They can also be admitted into the hospital many times a year due to their asthma.
